OTTAWA, Ont. — Canada’s left-wing New Democrats are facing a new threat from a Conservative movement keen to steal long-standing support from the party’s working-class base.
Last week, an election in Canada’s largest province saw the Progressive Conservatives win a landslide majority, partly due to a successful bid to appeal to union workers in former NDP strongholds.
The NDP hasn’t had the working class vote for eons, they rep Big Labour – principally our predatory public service unions whose members number nearly 2 million in Ontario. Private sector unions are not nearly so large but do rep the left leaning media.
