From universal health care to dental care, the programs that make us proud to be Canadian wouldn’t be possible without New Democrats in Parliament.

As Liberals shift to the right, now more than ever we need strong progressive left voices fighting for our country and all Canadians.

This is a screenshot of a Toronto Star article with the headline “Opinion: Why we still need a strong federal NDP” and quote: “Historically, the NDP has pushed for policies that prioritized those issues, influencing governments to adopt more progressive stances. Whether it’s health care, child care, or climate action, the party advocates for the well-being of everyday Canadians, even when it’s not politically convenient. What is the bigger threat—losing ground on the social programs that define us, or the chaos that is Trump? Can we afford to focus on one while ignoring the other? We can’t afford to pick one battle—our future depends on both.”. Underneath is a photo of Bhutila listening do a constituent during one of her town halls.

    We absolutely do not need any more “strong progressive voices” whatever that even means.

    This type of superficially “””progressive””” rhetoric while propping up technocratic neoliberal policies is exactly why the NDP is in the gutter.

    What we actually need is an organized, unified left taking wealth back from those who’ve stolen it & using it to fix the abhorrent decline in our wages and living standards over the past 30-40 years.

    Labour and wealth equalizing policies are wildly popular on all sides of the political spectrum in this environment. That the NDP is suffering a historic loss as we speak is a scathing rebuke of their inability to hold capital accountable and seize an election that was always theirs to lose.

    We don’t need any more people waxing poetic about voices. We need the NDP to roll up their sleeves and start hitting back.
