There are plenty of things wrong with what the NDP is doing, but pushing the point that they are causing this, is misinformation at best. All the articles against NDP mention it, but seem to glaze over it like a footnote and that is just wrong. It is the single largest factor in this crash. Yes, the NDP is not helping, but they are like 5% of the problem, maybe. No provincial government would be able to do anything that battles what is going on in any significant way.
So because they can only control 5% of the problem, it is acceptable for them to make things worse?
