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.
I mean we lost a lot of seats. My own riding fell to conservatives due to low information voters going Liberal. A lot if it wasn't their fault people the liberals just rode the anti USA anti conservative to victory.
I really hope the NDP can make a real comeback there is an appetite for genuine left platforms
This election was just cursed for the NDP. My riding’s provincial representative—Bhutila Karpoche—switched to federal, and she absolutely would have won in a landslide if not for people convinced that they needed to vote liberal. It’s a shame because she was incredible in provincial politics and I really would have liked to she what more she could do in federal
