Fixed.
Why yes the very same! Quite observant!
And what's your point exactly? I was clearly right that it was a horrendous move for the NDP and propping up a deeply unpopular Trudeau was an epic strategic disaster that sunk the party. Instead of making itself a viable left alternative, they choose to straddle on with Trudeau. You still can't stomach any remote criticism thrown at the NDP because they are still the closest party to your own political beliefs?
And looks like Canadians significantly distanced themselves from the NDP.

He says 1.2 million Canadians sent New Democrats to Parliament to advocate for working families and those priorities aren’t reflected in the speech.

Quite the unique way to say that 27.3 million Canadians told the NDP to pound sand that they are out of touch and chose someone else.
Going against what Canada chose on the throne speech isn't going to win the NDP any favours with anyone outside of their partisan base. At the moment, Carney is extremely popular and the NDP deeply unpopular. Going against the throne speech on behalf the working family angle is rich, considering the party completely alienated the working class in recent years in lieu of champagne socialism and virtue signaling and had their worst election showing in history as a result.
Today's Liberals are clearly not the same party with a new leader at least at this point. Distancing itself from a party / leader that is now very popular is certainly a choice.
If they want to court the working class, they need to remember what that even means and that Canadians don't want their livelihoods jeopardized. At the moment, this means being strong against US, promote unity, and harnessing Canada into an energy superpower. Poilievre lost what was a gimmy election because he couldn't do it and too stubborn / dumb / unlikeable to figure it out.
The NDP today still is just as completely out of touch with Canadians as it was yesterday. The NDP as a party has not changed it's direction at all (the Liberals clearly have with Carney).
Why don't we counter this. Do you think this is a good move by the NDP? It seems you think it is based on your comment so let's see you elaborate.
