I'm still learning more about Yves, but I like what I've seen so far. Apparently some people are calling for him to be blocked from the leadership race because of his pro-palestine, anti-zionist, and anti-genocide views. Contrary to their complaints, he is not antisemitic.

Yves Engler’s campaign for the leadership of the New Democratic Party represents a defining moment in Canadian politics. For too long, the NDP has drifted toward centrism, attempting to appease corporate interests and mainstream media narratives rather than boldly representing the working class. Engler’s vision is different. He stands unapologetically for democratic socialism — a society rooted in economic justice, peace, democracy, and the empowerment of working people.

The real Rwanda genocide story has no Canadian heroes.

I have no horse in this race, but I mean he calls it a genocide in the first sentence of the article and keeps calling it a genocide. He's questioning the Western (and specifically Canadian) narrative surrounding the genocide, not in any way the genocide itself.
