Inertia is a Property of Matter

So, the NDP will be electing a new leader this weekend, and I will be among those voting (once I finally get the voting information). I got a membership for the sake of voting (on the last day one could sign up for it) and have been generally following coverage of the race, though I kind of tuned out partway through December and tuned back in slowly through February. Also, I never watched the debates in full.

This makes me the perfect person to comment on it, right? Right? ...No, but I wrote up my impressions from my somewhat distant view of the proceedings to help anyone who might be voting in it or who might be curious about it. Chances are I could have just e-mailed the one person I know who is doing so, but hey. Posting is easy, too.

Note: I didn't get to proofreading this. Or properly referencing this. Seriously, I wrote 7 pages of Microsoft Word on this, that is enough time set aside for someone who is in no way a pundit!

EDIT: Whoops, halfway through I forgot I was linking short videos of all the candidates. Those will come later for the latter ones! I have to go right now, but I'll be back. Fixed!
