      NDP shoots themselves in the foot. No real need to worry, as they aren’t going to be running anything, anytime soon.

      Bizarre that the NDP are leaning even harder into this performative dog and pony show stuff, after losing nearly all voter confidence in the last election for their tone-deafness regarding the real and pressing issues facing average Canadians.

      Edit: I keep getting snipey comments from defenders of the NDP, who then immediately delete them or block me before I can even formulate a reply. Anyway, to those assuming I’m a Conservative, I’m not. I’m somewhere in-between the extremes of left/right, as are most Canadians.

      The NDP should be profoundly embarrassed about this entire situation and if they dont come out hard in the opposite direction theres not a chance they’ve done enough self-reflection to grow their influence in any respect and will never be considered fit to form government. It was painful to watch.

      They can’t even keep it together in their own convention. Imagine trying to run a country.

      It was a silly display and also a weird system: people who identified as belonging to a certain group were given a card and told to use it to cut the line to speak at a microphone. I can maybe understand wanting to make sure that a certain group would have the right to speak to a certain issue that affects them, but why not make sure a designated representative of that membership would have the right to speak rather than relying on people elbowing their way through a crowd of people?

      The NDP has become a parody of itself. This is the sort of stuff that conservatives would come up with to make fun of leftists 15 years ago, and the NDP took it as sound advice.

      I feel like all of the blue collar labour leaders need to get themselves in a room together and start their own party. Because right now the James Carville legendary line “it’s the economy stupid” is way over the heads of the drama class the NDP has put forward

      The federal NDP doesn’t even have official party status – Canadians have rejected them. They will sink even further in the polls before they either turn things around or completely die/rebrand.

      Replace these with „I couldn’t afford to eat today“ and „I can’t pay for gas to get to work“ cards

      The NDP will never hold power or be an official party again with this crap.

      I watched some of these clips over the weekend and all I kept thinking is is this really good AI or are they that cooked

    16. FlatItem on

      People can hate on the Toronto Sun, but I’ve seen clips of it going viral online.

      Clips like this turn away the blue collar voters they need to win back. Only way they win them back is if they cut identity politics out of their platform… which they won’t .

      Politically I’m aligned with the NDP, but I’ve moved to the Liberals for a decade now since the NDP seems to have abandoned the working class for an obsession with identity politics.

      Canada has stopped taking the NDP seriously. I hate to say it but it feels like Jagmeet was a little better than this clown show

    19. halisray on

      What an embarrassment. A federal political party.. equity cards? Pronouns? The average Canadian doesn’t give two shits. Focus on the REAL issues.

    22. konathegreat on

      I didn’t think the NDP could become any more useless than when they were led by Jagmeet Singh.

      I was wrong. They have pulled out all stops and really decided to give it their all on coming up with totally insane ideas.

      The NDP has been hijacked by imbeciles and mentally unstable people.

    23. EdmontonAHSWorker19 on

      Everyone thinks it was an SNL skit. There is no way in hell that this is your average NDP supporter, if so – the party is doomed

    24. CallousDisregard13 on

      Theresa May has more credibility than the NDP at this point, and that is a sub zero bar to start with.

    25. darkestvice on

      The modern Left’s focus on identity over socioeconomic status is a big reason they are losing the trust of even the poor. The working class needs financial stability, not a lecture on their gender and skin color.

    26. greeenappleee on

      Ndp was not long ago pushing for abolishing the caf. Even their new leader has proposed and pushed for lower military spending and that was before the recent hikes. They just dont live in the reality of the world

    27. olrg on

      There’s nothing more ironic than the anti-hierarchy crowd fighting over whose color card is more important.

    28. randobis on

      I saw clips of this on TikTok and didn’t think it was real. I was convinced it was an AI parody. We *are* so cooked as a country is this is what we’ve devolved to.

      Knowing that this is what the NDP still focuses on ensures I’ll continue not voting for them, despite wanting an alternative to our two party shit show. 

      Wake me up when Wab Kinew steps up as leader and shakes some sense into this party.

      Identity politics is a zero sum game. You’re not going to fix anything from the past by manipulating the present to make some people special privilege and calling it ‚equity.‘

    30. jcamp028 on

      This is a party that has now become completely irrelevant due to its performative actions and narrow focus on things that are not actually important. Most of the country doesn’t view this as a viable or real party and that’s been quite apparent for a while now.

    32. rbarlow1 on

      Can we just get Jack Layton back somehow?

      Social class is more relevant as a voter consideration than it has been in generations, and somehow the NDP isn’t bothering to notice. It’s insane and laughably disconnected from the party’s proud origins in protecting worker’s rights.

    33. 1pencil on

      Ndp lost its footing when Jack Layton passed away.

      Jagdeep spun it into total directionless undecided unreliable formless spineless chaos.

      Now they are blind, tone deaf, and their feet are not even under them, so forget about solid foundations or stable footing.

      The NDP currently have no direction, no leadership, and no vision.

    34. rainman_104 on

      I would like to comment but I don’t have one of those special cards that allow me to speak.

    35. gigglepox95 on

      Why can’t we have equality – a simple principle of first come, first speak would be fair and follows long standing and normal precedent. All of this is purely virtue signalling, and ironically signals a party bent on disrupting the norms of all people being equal. It’s quite shocking.

    36. mervmann on

      Equity cards handed out based on race and gender is so stupid. This is why NDP barely got any seats in the last election. They’ve turned into a joke of a party. Jack Layton would be rolling over in his grave seeing what the NDP has become.

    37. KageyK on

      Imagine trying to run Parliament where certain MP’s have these cards they can pull out at any time to bypass all the other speakers.

      I’m sure we would get so much done.

    38. weaberry on

      As a person who has previously voted for the NDP, this is literal insanity. Jack Layton spinning in his grave right now.

    39. donniedumphy on

      I’m just a middle aged average voting dad and I legit have no idea what these people are even talking about? What are they arguing?
