Yeah what’s up with these NDP / Jagmeet Singh posts on here lately? It’s a two horse race. Jag needs to back off and stop splitting the left vote else Canada will suffer from a Conservative majority.
The Liberals with the addition of a conservative central banker as leader, who has already thrown several progressive causes under the bus, is a big step further right than even the center-right LPC party of the last decade.
They are closer to the CPC than the NDP by mine. LPC will always always always side with large corporations over labourers and citizens. They do this for neoliberal ideological reasons. That is not a left wing party.
The only friends closer in Canadian politics than a Conservative PM and a Liberal Premier of Ontario are a Liberal PM and a Conservative Premier. It’s just two brands of the same thing, one that hides behind affected social conservatism, and one that hides behind faux social progressiveness.
The Bloc are not available for most Canadians to vote for, but yes, they are a left wing party, and we were certainly lucky for that when they were the official opposition. They help keep the window from being dragged further right than it already is.
The Greens attempt to be neither left nor right so they can be (in a gross misuse of this term) nonpartisan. I don’t know about today, but earlier in their formative period, most Green candidates were ex conservative candidates of various parties who found that true conservatism was not welcome in the modern right wing. Green philosophy is very compatible with both right wing conservatism and left wing idealism.
The LPC are the biggest whores in Canada and it’s just branding and shrewd exploitation of social issues that make people think otherwise.

The Liberals are centrist, not left. They’re right smack-dab in the middle of the Canadian political spectrum. The NDP and Greens are left.

They’re closer to the NDP than to the Conservatives, by my estimation and by CBC vote compass.

I just don’t see any evidence that’s true.
lol “splitting the left”. NDP is the only party ON the left.
The Greens? The Bloc?
And yes, the Liberals.

What are you talking about? Greens take the NDP line or further left on just about every issue.
