This is silly. The origins of the NDP/CCF and their role in getting Canadians access to many of the the social programs we take for granted today are hardly insane. I suppose universal health care, labour rights, etc., would have seemed radical at the time but in hindsight they seem to have worked out relatively well for the majority of Canadians.

And Leap is a big problem for Notley. Even if the Alberta wing were to split, they would have the same baggage the provincial Liberals do - the name alone ties them to the federal party.

I wouldn't be shocked if they changed their name were they to split from the federal part, but it is absolutely a problem for them.
