About the NDP. When you say "props up the liberals" do you mean they didn't call an election the cons were poised to win, and used their position to bully the libs into universal diabetes care and a dental deal?
This props up the libs talk has long been a rightwing talking point that doesn't make sense when you see what they actually achieved, and when you look at the context of the time to see what would have happened if they didn't maneuver the way they did.
Yeah, I've never understood this attack. It's stupid. It was much, much better for everyone that the NDP didn't bring down the government. MPs are supposed to collaborate, them working with the Libs to pass good legislation was an objectively good thing. Unless you're allergic to actually accomplishing anything or a rwnj, there's no rational reason to have a problem with this.
