As for the Liberals being called massive lefties, I actually can see how some people can honestly believe that and not suffer from delusion. Look at the policies of the Liberal Party platform and put it right up against the NDP's platform. Hell look at Taft's platform from 2008 vs. Sherman's 2012 platform. There's a whole lot more income redistribution going on in Sherman's platform! Looking at the NDP platform outside of a couple of NDP pro-union axes to grind they look a whole very similar to the Liberals. In fact if you make $250k/year in this province, the Raj Sherman Liberals actually want to take a magnitude more of your income in taxes than Brian Mason's NDP.

Sure, but that's not at all the same as the Liberals and NDP being Marxists, a label they've been given by many on the far-right.
Even Jack Layton's federal NDP, a party much too far to the left to attract my vote, were not communists.
