Some of the best advancements in Canadian social programs have been spearheaded by the NDP, pulling the Liberals to the left. The NDP have, on more than one occasion, held the balance of power and used it to support Liberal minority governments. Pulling support away from Carney in a leftist direction is in no way equivalent to what happened in the most recent American election. We don’t live in a two party system, and I’d very much like to see it kept that way lest we become more like the Americans in yet another way.

Finally some leftist critique of what’s been going on with the Liberal party lately. I feel like everyone got so swept up in the fervour of “oh my god, the Conservatives might not win a landslide this election, this is a miracle!” that they forgot that electing someone further to the right of Trudeau in an already centrist party is no win for leftists.
