Dan Knight- NDP Loses Official Party Status in 2025 Election, Faces $2-3 Million Funding Cut
This isn’t just a bad night for the NDP. It’s an extinction-level event for Canada’s so-called progressive movement. And it’s a direct result of years of cowardice, betrayal, and political prostitution to the Liberal Party machine.
I guess that’s what happens when your leader is a pull start and not a push start.
Whom do you Sikh?
Just thinking about it makes me sikh.
this is all on him. this even shattered the traditional 15% ndp in pretty much any election.

I always considered the NDP that party for people who cannot read or write very well and have no idea about math.
Just a bunch of whiny, dumb-shits who stink the joint up and demand free stuff.
He looks like Marge Simpson, on hormones, when he wears the blue one..
As the NDP was one party what now happens to the provincial wings… was there money coming from the center? Does anyone know or want to guess?
Excellent questions! Thanks.
If Carnage needs NDP votes (to pass legislation the Bloc doesn’t support) he’ll find a way to give the NDP official party status.
He doesn’t even need to as long as he has the bottom number of MPs to support his agenda.
The NDP doesn’t need to waste time chasing official party status, Carney is just going to make them an offer that they can’t or won’t refuse. They know that their ideological land has been be salted by Singh for who knows how long. And if the NDP doesn’t play ball, the BQ can always be bought “for the benefit of Quebecers”.
Carney has a de-facto majority. I’m absolutley fine with that, because after the last ten years or Liberal incompetence and corruption, and whatever he does now, it’ll all be on him.
Under the flimsy assumption that Canada survives in any form until then, we have at least three years to find a new leader. Hopefully, they time is used wisely.
The liberals always find a way. And the conservatives will slip back into being the stupid party, maybe even choosing Doug Ford to lead them.
no one could match your stupid
wally
You sound offended, so do you identify with Rosseuage’s comment?
Lisa Raitt already mentioned this. The Liberals can offer to vote to change Parliamentary Rules to grant NDP official status (using NDP votes) in exchange for an agreement from the NDP to vote with the liberals for another 4 years.
Bagmeat Singh likes that idea.
We can’t vote them out.
Too much democracy.
The LPOC will give them party status.
The one good thing that came from the election. Destroying the commies is a good start.
But in doing so it has become exponentially more difficult for conservatives, especially right of center ones, to gain power. Not that Red Tories would be any more successful. If enough Liberals were really interested in a Liberal Lite party, that gambit would have won several times by now.
“it has become exponentially more difficult for conservatives…”
It’s going to take a famine, a plague -and- a war combined to shift the people of Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver into voting for ‘right-of-center’ conservatives. If they didn’t move this time, they never will.
Or you could try running a competent campaign and attractive platform.
I’m sorry, one word from #OrangeManBad and they flip like a pancake? From hating the #Libs like poison to voting for them, in a month?
Irrational freaks. The only thing that will move them is pain.
It’s like the old story about the farmer, the city slicker and the mule. The mule won’t budge until the farmer breaks a two-by-four across it’s forehead. Then it pulls the wagon quite happily. The city slicker asks why the farmer is so mean mule. The farmer says “He’s a fine worker, but first you have to get his attention.”
Unimportant. The NDP achieved more as a small party of opportunistic protest and coalitions than the CPC did in power.
They were destroyed, with 12 of their incumbents now out of a job. You are doing really bad drugs.
That does not contradict my statement at all.
They ‘achieved’ a national recession, a Chinese corruption of our government, an actual invasion from India, and the destruction of their party.
In English, this is called “defeat”. Also a calamity. Also just desserts.
The CPC achieved little, aside from the destruction of the #ShinyPony and revealing the horrifying corruption of the #Fiberals.
I’m inclined to take it easy on them, it isn’t their fault that Toronto is populated by irrational stupid people and opportunistic socialists who knowingly voted for more corruption, more crime, more invasion from foreigners and more treason in high places. And a deeper recession.
Which commies are you referring to? Because in case you hadn’t noticed, the Libs seemed to have embraced that ideology such that they’ve become indistinguishable from our other commie party.
what are you talking about, they won
The more I consider the depths to which the NDP have fallen, the more I am convinced that enough of them will cross the floor to sit with the Liberals to give Carney a majority. Even without cabinet seats, they would have access to a lot more funding than they do now. If they haven’t been contacted already, I’m sure it’s just a matter of time.
I can’t say that I’ve ever seen a political party commit suicide like the NDP just did. They saw their goal as solely to prevent a rival party from ever gaining power. In doing so, they have destroyed their own party. Weird.
Absolutely they cross,never had any principles to start with.
The only flaw with that is the people that are left aren’t really what you’d want polluting your party.
That earth tremor we felt last night was Tommy Douglas rolling in his grave. Jaggie certainly betrayed TD’s vision for the party, didn’t he?
And, no, my nose does not run for the NDP. I put up with those knuckleheads when they started ruining B. C. in 1972 under “Fat Little Dave” Barrett’s gang. I dealt with their tomfoolery when I lived in Saskatoon, until they were punted from by the Grant Devine PCs.
And then there was that boozehag here in Alberta. Both my provincial and federal ridings are Dipper. I also had to deal with the NDP again while settling my father’s estate in B. C. when Christie Clarke got turfed in favour of John Horgan.
Tommy Douglas was a big eugenicist and Jagmeet did him a solid by euthanizing his party.
Frankley TD was a kristian preacher through and through.
A kristian whose bible somewhere says to assault and steal from Peter and give the spoils to Paul? Somewhere it also promotes sticking one’s wicker-whacker into anywhere except where it’s supposed to go? That type of kristian?
Yes, United Church.
Singh was in on the downfall of the ndp the Liberals knew Ndp voters would come there way and the Conservatives will never ever win another election without the ndp liberal splitting their votes
When are the Conservatives going to smarten up?
Out Liberal the Liberal Party.
Canadians want to be bought so buy them.
Math doesn’t matter.
Debt doesn’t matter.
Lies don’t matter.
The Liberal-owned Media is a problem.
So buy your own, dummies.
Canadians have told you what matters to them.
Listen!
Free stuff and lots of lies for the ladies.
We can thank Dalton Camp and his Night of the Long Knives for starting it. He orchestrated the ouster of John Diefenbaker as PC leader, with Bob Stanfield succeeding him.
It was around that time that Pearson decided to pack it in and we ended up with PET. The Liberals had a slick marketing campaign (“He’s young! He’s hip!”) to sell him and, even then, the MSM portrayed Stanfield as a blundering idiot.
I remember Stanfield. He -was- an idiot. It is no wonder that PET beat him.
Nobody in Canadian politics has ever really laid their cards on the table and called it how it is. It’s always the marketing campaign, the ‘how can we fool the rubes today’ slickness. Probably wouldn’t make any difference though, look what just won an election ffs.
I heard that Stanfield was good as premier of Nova Scotia. Still, that didn’t help him.
As for PET, it was all marketing. I was in high school when he became first leader of the Liberals and, a few weeks later, PM. Many of the girls I knew were gushing over him, enthralled that someone so “dashing” was in charge of the country. Move ahead about 45 years, and I knew women who had similar reactions to Maggie’s brat.
There you have it, folks. Whoever packages their candidate the right way and peddles that person like some laundry detergent wins the election. Policies? Who cares?
Spot on, LD! That whole ‘can’t even catch a football’ smear that the MSM perpetrated on the electorate was yellow journalism of the worst kind. Seems weird now, but at the time it was devastating to the Stanfield campaign. Asshats.
That was the moment that the train left the tracks.
And PET turned around and shoved Stanfield’s Wage and Price Freeze down our throats. After campaigning vehemently against such measures. Since it was a minority government, PET also had the blessings of the NDP.
And let’s not forget that it was Ed Broadbent’s NDP that ganged up with PET to make sure that the Joe Clarke PCs would never govern because they considered his government as illegitimate.
The resulting election, Canadians voted “correctly” (like they were supposed to) and this country was saddled with PET for another 4 miserable years, along with the NEP, our tissue-paper Constitution, and our phony-baloney Charter of Rights.
Grand times, weren’t they?
l uh uh uh remember uh u uh uh uh bob uh uh uh uh uh uh uh stan uh uh field.
lol tell me lm wrong.
only those who knew a lot about mr underwear supported him.
but flash and sexiness wins the day.
as of 1968.
Have progressives really been extinguished if they all reside in the LPC?
What do you call Trudeau, if not one of the most smarmy progressives the western world has ever elected?
Remember the good old days when we argued about how many cabinet positions Poilievre should cut and which ones needed to get axed? Those were good times.
what are you talking about, they won
The blanket support did the NDP in.. Not that more liberal voters helped us much..
Womp womp
Communists rebranded as Liberals when Pearson brought Trudeau into the party. Rumours of Pearson being a Soviet mole were not unfounded.
Look into the history about Trudeau coming into Pearson’s cabinet. Start with the name Lucien Rivard, followed by Guy Favreau. And, yes, it did happen that way because I remember hearing about it on the news.
As Mark Twain once remarked, truth is stranger than fiction because fiction has to make sense.
My son is in a trade union which means a job board and a pension and benefits. He was commenting that the members of the union were all supporting the CPC and not the NDP. I know he certainly was supporting the CPC. When they lost he sent me a text asking me if I wanted to be president of Western Canada. No I don’t want to go into politics and I know he was joking about the CPC loss but the fact is that no one in the union supported the NDP.
Unfortunately, the NDP got more than vague promises for their support-the concessions were real and expensive. All the more reason to be glad they got stomped.
Carney is promising 283 billion more of debt in 4 years (as if) accumulating debt is the only thing government does well. Interest is out largest line item expense, it will grow ever larger under Carney, taxes will rise and the whole thing spirals and fails. Good riddance.
Oooyeah?
The agent of the WEF, certain Carney, needs the 7 to help him subdue the unruly freethinkers.
Watch how things will get convoluted and the 7 will get plenty of money for their yes.
