The NDP helped build Canada’s welfare state. Now, under pressure from Donald Trump’s tariffs and a shifting political terrain, the party risks electoral annihilation as voters split between technocratic centrism and right-wing populism.

“Canada’s left” is a long way from where the NDP stand.
The Liberal party is absolutely the Progressive Conservatives of 1980. The NDP are a mostly-ineffectual version of the Liberals of the same era. The Green Party needs to get their leadership shit in order to take on the coherent left role.
The CPC is now in the same category as the PPC or Christian Heritage party - racist nutbars who deserve to be forgotten except as a historical footnote.
Let’s not worry about ‘fixing’ the NDP as a left party, accept who they are, and filling the hole they left when they slid right.
