I have no idea why the wing nuts on either side decide that this is their time to surface. This isn't much different than what you might see from conservatives on the other side on different issues.

On top of it theres some major union signatories on this which represents a huge part of the NDP campaign engine.
This puts Mulcair in a tough spot, basically if people don't believe that the Libs and CPC are looking at this gleefully they're mistaken.
There's some mileage here.
Mulcair is going to be faced with the tough choice of outright saying that people that are campaigning for him are out of their gosh darned minds and don't speak for the NDP.
This is very similar to the opening days of the Reform-CPC merger when Harper was sabotaged by the wing nuts on the right and lead to a lack of trust by the voters.
Basically this has become the NDP version of the hidden agenda. Unless Mulcair comes out and creates separation with these people, he might see the uncertain voters that were looking at the NDP to go elsewhere in the voting tent.
