    "But it’s almost a truism in Canadian politics that lots of people like what the NDP is all about ... but just not quite enough to actually vote for them."

    Through minority governments and without ever receiving a majority the NDP have been able to create some the most important polices in this countries history. Health Care, Student Loans, CPP and our Maple Leaf flag were all the result of the Liberals and NDP working together. Yet deep down most of us cringe at the thought of them running the country. They just seem too reckless with money.

    • The important part of your last sentence is the word 'seem'. I was talking about NPD prejudice in this thread in regards to taxes, no where has it been substantiated they raise taxes or are bad with money.eieio

    • Their financial records on the provincial level are dismal.aldebaran
    • Maybe that's where the fear comes from.aldebaran
    • Please show me this rather than claim it is the point. they currently run Manitoba and Nova Scotia and I've heard nothing but good things.eieio
    • ...nothing but good things.eieio
    • I say 'NDP prjudicve' because people say stuff like this a lot about them but rarely is there any real substance to these claims.eieio
