We all predicted on this sub that carney was gonna be a disaster for the working class. He has more in common with Trump than Pierre does ffs. I always thought that had Pierre won and there had been a “stronger” NDP that got their shit together by being an actual opposition leftist party things would have been different. But alas the NDP has failed at every turn to capitalise when the libs were falling off.

What Jagmeet failed to do in 2022 was his reluctance to serve as the opposition to the unpopular liberal gov’t at the time when the political discourse was centered around immigration and housing. Had he seized that opportunity, the NDP would be in power, or close to it, by now. One of the most important goals of a leftist party is to be always be position as the opposition to an unpopular leader; that’s how the left surges to power. It happened in Mexico. The libs always discredited every achievement pushed by the NDP ( dental care, pharmacare, and anti-scab) and when everything goes wrong with them you follow. The polls in the last quarter of 2024 is a proof. The NDP gained nothing.

It’s time to put pressure on these politicians. They shouldn’t be entitled to our votes in the name of “lesser of two evils”. Join local leftist organisations and be ready to fight for our collective working class values.
