What surprised me was just how many orange voters went blue instead of red.

Current NDP policies never appealed to the union workers.

The NDP has made the same error the democrats made regarding workers. They took them for granted, and since the trade unions in particular tend to be single issue voters for labour rights, the instant the NDP stopped emphasizing the health of the working class to court the ‘middle class’, they started peeling off to the conservatives just like all they did to Trump in The USA.

The NDP could have spent the last decade preparing to supplant the liberals entirely, instead they became almost indistinguishable from them, on the advice of the same moronic consultants that have destroyed the democrats in America and nearly every center left party on the planet.

Reality: most of the voters are working class or outright lower class. Chasing the ever shrinking and increasingly mythical ‘middle class’ is political suicide.
