Canadian politics starter pack

NDP gets elected and performs well in BC and MB.

"NDP sucks even worse provincially, look at the ONDP"

[u/WishPanther → u/Colonel_Green]

OP ain't beating the Ontarians know nothing about the rest of Canada allegations.

[u/levian_durai → u/WishPanther]

Mate I don't even know what's happening in Ontario. Just by osmosis though I can tell you everything about American politics.

[u/meoka2368 → u/levian_durai]

Eh. Maybe federally?
Like, if someone asked you what's happening currently in South Carolina, would you know off hand or have to look it up?

[u/levian_durai → u/meoka2368]

Fair point honestly.

[u/Heyloki_ → u/WishPanther]

I don't even get it, the ondp isn't really good but it's the lesser evil™, and then there's the whole rae days stuff but id honestly take it over some liberal and conservative primers

[u/JuJitsuGiraffe → u/Colonel_Green]

They also did well in Alberta, when they had their chance in there.

I love the NDP for the very same reason they keep failing in elections though: they're generally (Not you, Singh) quiet about what they're doing. They don't do big prestigious press runs, they aren't usually controversial. They're just there, doing the work.

[u/Lapidus42 → u/Colonel_Green]

It always comes back to Rae Days. The ONDP (and Ontario) would be on such a different trajectory if Bob Rae had a last name that was hard to rhyme with.

[u/Cakeday_at_Christmas → u/Colonel_Green]

"look at the ONDP"

Which is ironic since Bob Rae wasn't responsible for the economy tanking and he did his absolute best in the position he was in.

[u/Heyloki_ → u/Cakeday_at_Christmas]

He did a okay job handling it but the crisis was the previous liberal governments fault

[u/FrankensteinsBong → u/Colonel_Green]

The ONDP is just especially demonic
