The NDP have no clear rationale for breaking with the Liberals, and no plan to differentiate themselves. What is clear is that the era of stability in Canadian politics is over.

John Horgan, the first two-term NDP Premier in B.C., officially stepped down from his post on March 31. Not even one day after stepping down he joined the board of Teck Coal, one the largest exporters of steelmaking coal in the world.

As of recently, the Green Party has become the only major party to question Canada’s participation in the Ukraine War. This is while the NDP, the traditional “antiwar” party, has been ramping up the war drums. It’s shameful that a pro-business party like the Greens has shown more backbone over this question than what’s supposed to be Canada’s main labour party. 

The Trudeau government has announced they’re spending $70 billion on new fighter jets. This comes at a time when most working-class Canadians are struggling to even pay the bills.

While many people were hopeful that this would lead to concessions from the Liberals on these key issues, recent news has confirmed what […]

Some 1,000 government workers organized with the British Columbia General Employees’ Union (BCGEU) in the liquor and cannabis distribution sector have been on strike since August 15. The main demand of the union is for wage increases to keep pace with rising inflation, with the BCGEU specifically demanding a cost-of-living-adjustment (COLA) agreement.  While the B.C. […]

Thomas Dang, an Alberta provincial MLA, has been in a months-long limbo, out of the NDP caucus due to an unusual police investigation of hacking and whistleblowing.
