Okay I have to give credit to Telus here, they backed down on the rate change after the immense backlash from literally every single public mobile customer. Either the numerous crtc complaints worked, or the pr hit was too strong, but they backed out about a day later

Libs have at least done some boots on the street stuff like the minimum wage increase, the sex Ed changes and so on. I was specifically mentioning the LGBT activist worker someone else touched on running against Horwath in Hamilton Center above (turns out it was in gray forum CanPol). Now that Cheri DiNovo has retired there’s not actually much in the NDP nothingness of a platform for people looking for better queer rights.

The NDP could be doing something but they’re doing nothing. The Liberals have actually been doing something even if it’s not everything.

DON'T POST IN THE ELECTION THREAD UNLESS YOU :love::love::love: JOE BIDEN
This kinda sums up the NDP in my mind:

quote:

Meanwhile, there had been concerns going into the convention that internal party divisions would erupt over some other policy resolutions, notably those endorsing of a boycott campaign against Israel and opposing the Trans Mountain Pipeline.

But delegates pushed those as well as several resolutions calling for the party to endorse a controversial treatise called the Leap Manifesto to the bottom of the list, meaning they are unlikely to emerge over the coming days.

Former national director Karl Belanger believed that decision would give the party a chance to use the convention as a springboard to the next election, "something that you cannot do if you spend the weekend fighting about one thing or another."

Still, delegates were presented with a grave assessment of the party's finances, thanks to a precipitous decline in fundraising since the last federal election in 2015 that has seen the NDP's budget fall from $18 million in 2015 to $6 million the last two years.

The trend is starting to reverse, said NDP treasurer Tania Jarzebiak, but the party still has $3 million in external debt from the last election, and owes money to many riding associations that will need the cash soon to start preparing for 2019.

Literally going from boasting about shutting down any internal debate or talk about substantive policy issues followed immediately by complaints about how for some reason enthusiasm for the party has waned.

That is best loving avatar. Tim Curry and communism, you lucky son of a bitch.

The NDP is so frustrating because there's examples and outreach of support from other left-wing groups in other countries but they aren't doing anything with it, let alone seeing way the political winds are blowing and shifting their own policies to try to catch the other parties by surprise.

It's ridiculous, people paid to just say "change nothing, we're good!" as if politics is about repeating the same thing until everyone votes for you.

I don't think you're under an obligation to be a member to drink beer and play pool. Unless I'm an undercover subversive.
