But in short, the NDP are stuck because a significant majority of their base opposes the deal as well. The Conservatives can easily play hard to their base, and the Liberals have to defend their own actions. From the NDP's social position, it becomes a no-win scenario for them to even try to get involved.

Incidentally, it would also be such a Sun thing for them to begin using the epithet "SJW" without irony.
Christ, that was an obnoxious column. On a side note, can we stop using the term the "liberal media" when it comes to Canadian media? The CBC is at best/worst centrist, with left-leaning contributors, but the majority of Canadian print media and talk-radio shows are centre-right or full-on right-wing.
