Popular Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West, whose life was shaped by the labour movement, is worried by what’s happening to the party that once stood staunchly for blue-collar workers.
Not long ago West was a political staffer and campaign worker for Mike Farnworth, the longtime NDP MLA for Port Coquitlam and now minister of public safety. And Farnworth recently suggested in the legislature that West should be his successor.
The NDP abandoned those icky working class people long ago.
