He’s dead broke, Jim: Singh’s team chose not to wrap it in party branding, explaining there were “better uses” for the funds.

This was entirely predictable. The NDP is now a party which stands for nothing and has no voter base except the public sector unions. It has a few, small strongholds in British Columbia and Windsor and Hamilton Ontario. Its base of support in Saskatchewan was wiped out decades ago.
To make matters worse for them, they discarded a competent leader in Tom Mulcair in 2017 and selected the current grifter who heads the party. Under Mulcair, they were the official opposition. Under Jughead, they’re nothing.
Whatever increase in support the Liberals had with the emergence of Carney was entirely the result of desertions from NDP supporters. Just like the British Liberal party in the early 20th century, the Dips are done.
Why vote for the NDP when the Liberals are the Newer Democratic Party…of corrupt, neo-Marxist, rights -crushing, economy-killing assholes.
They’ve accomplished the only objective the multi-millionaire Singh ever wanted. He got his pension. While the whole country demanded the overthrow of Trudeau, Singh was giving him a bareback ride up to 6 years from from the date of his first election to Parliament.
Indeed he got his Golden Egg and now the Conservatives are ever-closer to being doomed. Not something I want to admit but the math doesn’t work if those NDP voters leave as they will likely go in droves to the Liberals before holding noses and voting for Cons. Not a good sign folks.
otoh they just abstain, no additional liberal support and ndp support evaporates.
werks fer me !!!
It’s still somewhat remarkable to see avowed socialist/communists, who are vehemently anti-capitalist, decide to vote for a corporate billionaire, who has sat at the highest seat of corporatism, BANKS.
That’s a real spin of cognitive dissonance.
If they’re voting for him for his UN/WEF Creds, then it also confirms the “conspiracy theories” assigned to Marx Carney.
Gawd, this country is still hypnotized in irrational fear and stupidity, with the left especially captured.
He campaigns against Poilievre, as if he’s going to poach any conservative votes. IOW he’s still behaving like he never ripped up the supply and confidence agreement.
He must be kicking himself for propping up the Liberals while Trudeau was leader. If he had voted with the Conservatives to bring down the government when the Liberals were at 16%, he would now be leader of the opposition.
dunces like jackoffmeat dont think logically. they arent capable.
its reflex, emotion, and guesswork. and fails as we will soon see.

In the area of northwest Regina I grew up in, many of the neighbors worked at IPSCO / Evraz steel 2 miles north of the city, and close enough that we’d ride our single speed bikes out there on the weekends to go swimming at the IPSCO pool and wild animals park. At least 1000 united steel workers mostly in north Regina fed their kids and raised families from there and daily I heard how the union was a good thing, how they all supported the NDP for all the good they do for the unions. During any election we’d have 20 orange signs on the front lawns of our crescent, and 2-3 reds, and 2-3 blue signs. You could tell by who they worked for, who they’d vote for.
That idealism isn’t there now. I imagine the nurses and teacher’s unions in Sask are still there for the NDP, but for anyone who actually builds things, who sees their pay stagnating while family costs have risen so much, where anyone would have an extra $100 for the NDP is anyone’s guess.
Hopefully the NDP stick with Mr. Singh as their leader after falling below official party status in this election. He’ll tell the membership how they’ll rebuild the party, how losing is empowering as it gives them pause to focus on what works for the common working citizens of the country.
It’s a lesson for those who would see clearly the direction of the country, and choose to hold on to power for their pension even while millions were clamoring for political change. The #Libranos after ditching the leader may be within striking distance of holding onto power, the NDP, staying with that leader who supported the past lost decade, have nothing new to wash the shame from them.
The NDP made a critical decision years ago to largely abandon the blue collar/resource unions, as they viewed the environmentalists as a larger source of support. To this day, that’s largely true. There are still some avowed unionists in that sector that bow to NDP, but in practice, the NDP abandoned them.
That was their core constituency.
Instead today, they are competing with the white collar union support with the Lieberals. The blue collar unions are largely supporting Conservatives, if not directly, quietly, what’s left of them.
How’s that working out for ya Meethead?
My sister, a lifelong, dyed in the wool, NDP devotee hates Singh and always has. She says he was only voted in because he’s a minority and that’s the reason they’ll never dump him. Can’t dump the brown guy because it goes against DEI that they all believe in. That’s he’s bad at his job doesn’t matter
‘White’ colonials bad – brown newcomers good. The Animals in the Farm have spoken.
Are they running any candidates in Nova Scotia, because I haven’t seen a single dipper sign anywhere? We don’t need the NDP, the liberals have gone so far left they picked a globalist elite to rule over us.
All part of the WEF’s plan to end Lieberal/Dipper/Watermelon vote splitting.
