    I got to be honest. The NDP are like some anime hero in this election sacrificing it all so the main protagonist can beat the villian

      -Mass immigration and loosening regulation so temporary students can work 40 hours a week when we finally had wage pressure, as people asked for simple cost of living adjustments after massive asset price inflation and corporate revenue.

      -Allowing unions to be forced back to work, eliminating all bargaining for wages.

      -Ignoring the cost of living increases from QE and unfunded stimulus, by not taxing the rich a dime to pay for any of it.

      Am I wrong in any of this, I’d love a carefully thought out retort that isn’t Cons bad.

        I don’t know if I’ll say you’re wrong but I will say that that feels like half a comment and you might have forgotten to add the part where you weave it all together. Or make it relate to the previous comments.

          The NDP started as a merger of labor party, saying they are a hero after a decade of abandoning labor seems silly to me. Thats how it ties together.

          The NDP who brought us universal healthcare actually fully funded everything via taxes, the current incarnation of the NDP didnt fund a single program they created, meaning it is funded with future austerity with interest and inflation.
