    Okay, and Pollievre would be better?

    Singh was completely cooked since the 2021 election, running him again and with such poor messaging was entirely the NDP’s fault. It was not fear-mongering.

    Singh’s numbers had been publicly decreasing for years, he lost seats in past elections, and the NDP decided to run a ton of single issue candidates run whose whole platform was Palestine.

    Meanwhile the party quietly did have a decent pro middle class platform, but didn’t really message that and got too caught up on how tax cuts also affect the rich (up to a very small amount of their income).

    I’m sorry but there was only one choice this election. I would have loved a real NDP choice, they chose not to.

      Maybe canada should stop preaching about human right values if they still support the longest standing occupation in the world. NPD platform was not about palestine only. Outside of the debate npd never talked about Palestine in the compaign

      The NDP isn’t just Singh. There’s a whole team behind him. And at least his heart’s at the right place.

      Again, a minority conservative government with a strong NDP would’ve been better than an entirely conservative government like the one we have right now. (Fiscally conservative + morally conservative)
