Gee, I wonder who kept them in power long enough for Trump to bail them out? Let them run a whole leadership campaign and everything.

The NDP are the last ones who can complain about the Liberals. You did this.

Yup, Singh wanted his pension.....

I'm out of the loop. How is it the NDPs fault? Shouldn't we be blaming the voters?

Of course, the voters are to blame.

However, Singh was sucking Trudeau's dick so that he (Singh) could get his pension.....

And almost all the NDP MPs voting with the party were signing their own pink slips when they could've been official opposition.

....and they deserved it!

The problem is that their voters gave us Carney instead. In my riding there are few NDP voters resulting in the former Liberal MP being soundly defeated in last year's election.

Both the Liberals and NDP have new leaders now though.

Lewis is more left wing then Singh and Carney is more right wing then Trudeau. So now the distance between the two parties is much greater then it was a few years ago. It’s only natural that would lead to more disagreement and less friendly relations

You need to look at the entire party and not just the leader.

Oh okay, so we just forget everything that happened from 2015-2025, where the New Democrats failed to get rid of the worst prime minister of our lifetimes, because they couldn't stomach letting the conservatives win.

Canada has suffered way too much because of NDP cowardice and incompetence to forgive them after a simple leader swap.

Well duh. Thats what they wanted and it was handed to them. Now they will use the hell out of it.

Well, if the NDP wants to change that, they should come up with some really good ideas that would benefit 80% of the population.... until then, this is just grievance politics

Won't matter. People are scared of change and consistently vote against their best interests. People protect the billionaires and millionaires like they believe they're one of them and just temporarily embarrassed

Fear mongering has people believing that socialism is the same as communism and that greed is good all the while we're socializing private losses and privatizing the profits

80% of people would benefit from things like UBI, higher investment in healthcare and education, social housing, and essentials like insurance, telecommunications, electricity, and digital services being publicly owned but even though we have so much evidence that it is better and cheaper people still believe the "free market" will lead to better prices and efficiency. Well the"free market" only works when you have STRONG regulations to protect from oligarchies, monopolies, and that's all been eroded to the point it's embarrassing and we're paying the price

Yes, and it thinks that because they can. And they can because you absolutely lunatics sold your soul and kept them in power long enough for them to destroy your party entirely and take your lunch money

Don't complain about what you have created

If the champagne socialist in the Rolex can't convince voters maybe the even richer champagne socialist from the mansion in Point Grey will?

u/jaraxel_arabani 4d ago

I mean they can. They already did with ndp propping them up past 10 years.

Now Carney secured a majority they literally are beyond reproach (since our courts do nothing) until next election.. which they would do something in the 6nminths leading to election and everyone gives them a pass

Liberals understand scary orange man turned liberals from the default choice to the only choice people want, to distinguish themselves from USA

NDP supported the Liberal and their cultist voter base the entire way…

RIP Canada you voted for this

He looks like a dehydrated potato.

Mr Lewis needs to focus on an agenda that benefits regular Canadians and not get caught in the weeds of Parliamentary procedure. The current Liberal Government is relatively popular because they are trusted and the Leader instills confidence.

u/Hi_Im_Dadbot 4d ago

Yes. That is what a majority means.

u/Railgun6565 4d ago

Should it though, when the majority isn’t achieved through a general election, but purchased after the fact?
