canada needs a three party system to keep the liberals somewhere close to the centre and stop them from veering off to the far right like the democrats, but singh's consistent policy failures, which include things like trying to force the federal government to adopt provincial responsibilities, abolishing carbon rebates, removing consumption taxes on unhealthy food and taking away tax credits for low income housing corporations, cannot be singularly assigned to him. the ndp have always been a weird party. they don't come from industrial era workers movements, but from a western canadian conservative christian uprising against the amoral godlessness of the liberal banking elite. the ndp is a conservative party - more conservative than the conservatives - and it always has been.

let the ndp die.

the new left should be the green party, as the greens are what the new left actually is. 

as carney is a conservative anyways, and polievre is obviously not one, it's increasingly irrelevant which party wins. the truth is that trudeau and harper were identical, policy wise, as reagan and clinton were in the united states. historians will talk about the mulroney-chretien-martin years, and then the harper-trudeau years. it doesn't matter anymore.

carney is winning because people prefer his personality. it's not about policy; the policies are indistinguishable. right now, people like the less flamboyant hair and the more tightly knotted tie of the liberal over the goofy fruitiness of the conservative. they think carney looks like he has a harder ass to fight off trump.

it's bullshit. nonsense.

the ndp offer nothing in response, but the same neo-liberal policies under a phony veneer of populism misbranded as vulgar socialism.

vote green, instead.
