Sad that most NDP voters don't even understand how their party works.

I'll just repeat my post from a month ago:
Nope:
Quote:
PROVINCIAL PARTIES
1. Each province of Canada shall have a fully autonomous provincial Party, provided its constitution and principles are not in conflict with those of the Federal Party.
2. In the event of dispute as to whether any particular organization is or is not a provincial Party in good standing, the Federal Council of the Party is empowered to rule on whether an organization shall continue to be a provincial Party, subject to appeal to Convention.

If you read the constitution and principles, “not in conflict” essentially requires provincial parties that want to use the name to avoid directly contradicting the spirit or overarching ethos of the NDP or the procedural elements laid out in its constitution.
Basically, you can’t move a provincial NDP party into a socially far right capitalist paradise that fights against workers having rights, and if you do, the punishment is that you can’t call yourself NDP.

And I can use a quote for this one too! If you're going to drop into this thread for the election, can you please make up some stuff we didn't just debunk a few weeks ago? You have to be better than that. Lying just looks lazy.

Something she’s made a career out of across Canada and internationally. Something she has won awards for. Something that has earned her the ear of some of the biggest companies in the world and influenced actual positive change.
She was the co-chair of a committee in charge of making recommendations. And she was extremely qualified.
Meanwhile, the UCP put a catholic pro-life activist with zero experience as an educator in charge of education, where she then attempted to push through a rewritten curriculum that would ensure kids were taught that the Nazis did some good things?
But hey, “both sides have extremists!” Genius stuff.
