    This is just identity politics dressed up as progressivism.

    These social service cuts go far beyond WAGE. Meanwhile disabled people and other demographics have been left in the cold.

    NDP needs to use their platform better. Identity politics and turning a national unity slogan into divisive rhetoric undermines their credibility as a whole.

    Stop pointing fingers and start talking solutions.

      I mean it would certainly be better if NDP framed this in the context of the overall class struggle. Unfortunately, they’ve effectively abandoned any talk of socialism under Singh.

        I didn’t even know the NDP had a blog. Probably the last time I’ll read it. NDP have focus grouped themselves out of relevance.

          I generally agree, unless they make big changes, I don’t see how they can stay viable. They’ve just become libs lite at this point.
