    How? Exactly what have they done that’s so bad?

    As far as I can tell, in Ontario, their sins amounted to:

    • Getting voted in just as a recession hit
    • Legislating one mandatory unpaid vacation day for civil servants so that they didn’t have to fire anyone
    • Being the NDP, and thusly earning the ire of the business community in Ontario, who promptly ratfucked them.

    Meanwhile, the Harris conservatives can actually have people murdered and it’s “Welp, they’re just common sense!”

      “Rae days” were demonized so hard that most of the people alive from that era hold a relatively permanent grudge against the NDP, despite the fact that no one lost their jobs which was the only alternative.
