I’m ok with this. I’ve voted NDP every election except for one, to remove Harper and get proportional representation. I’ve been very worried about vote splitting letting PP win so this feels to me like his way of broadcasting that it’s ok to vote liberal if that’s what we need to do. I’m lucky that I’m in a fairly secure NDP riding, but I will be voting strategically if needed. I think Carney will do a good job, and the NDP can be the push from the left to influence him, and honestly that’s not a bad place to be in. These are weird and uncertain times, we need a major trouncing of the cons, however that looks. Very much like when I voted liberal the last time, only way more extreme! He sees the writing on the wall and I just hope they retain enough seats to make a difference.
I just hope that the NDP actually starts feeling like a leftist party after this. Lately, it feels like the NDP's been even more right wing than the centralist Liberals. Aside from the occasional policy, most of the NDP's talking points feel either centralist or right wing than anything.
What's the point in having two centralist parties and an extreme right party? NDP was doing its best being the hard leftist party to balance things out, and started its collapse when they tried to out Liberal the Liberals. Of course that wouldn't work.
Hopefully this will have the NDP closely look at what it's doing and find a new voice that resonates to those unsatisfied with what the Liberals and Conservatives stand for, rather than trying to appeal to hardcore Liberal and Conservative followers.
Be the third way, not an alternate second way.
And hopefully more leftist than the O'Toole conservatives.
People said it wouldn't make a difference or that his other policies would be worse overall but at least worker board membership was on the table:

I'd much prefer those board seats for workers existed because they owned a substantial part of the company but it's better than nothing.
Absolutely agree! I very much hope for the same with the democrats down south, but I am not getting my hopes up at all on that count. Up here I see a batter path for that.
