The problem with the NDP is that they lost all credibility. Only 6.3% of voters voted for them (so 93.7% didn’t!)
It’s not a new leader at the top of this party that is going to help. They need a complete rethinking of what the NDP should offer Canadians. You can’t think in the same way as during the Layton years and think you can still be successful or relevant 15 years later.
There’s a reason why the new Liberal leader is completely different than its predecessor. Politicians need to adapt to the reality of the present and stop copying the past to guide their decisions (and this can apply to the CPC as well).

I’m really tired of politicians using „bureaucracy“ as a dirty word. I am surprised the NDP is taking this route; it seems like they’re just borrowing from conservative demagoguery now, which is not great.
If you want the government to intervene in the housing market and build below-market cost housing, you’re going to need to use the bureaucracy to do it. What do these people expect? Are we just going to create legislation, put some money behind it, then have absolutely nothing to enact and enforce it? There should be no oversight or accountability mechanisms? What’s the purpose of delegating authority and responsibility if you have no one and nothing to look over? It’s not just nonsense that willfully ignores the nuance and complexity of general governance and government participation in the economy.
That being said, can bureaucracy be reformed? Can it be made better? Yes. However, politicians are incredibly irresponsible when they simply rail on „bureaucracy“ without criticizing the actual institutions and their function and efficacy.
