As a pretty staunch Liberal who is genuinely a fan of Carney so far: I completely agree. If the NDP serves as nothing more than the sanctimonious wing of the LPC, then it effectively has no reason to exist. Even as someone who is pretty centrist, we NEED a valid socialist voice in this country’s political sphere. You can’t have a healthy, vibrant democracy without a plurality of perspectives, and legitimate representation for Canadians who share those perspectives.
