The federal Liberal government and the NDP have come to an agreement on pharmacare, clearing the way for the two parties to continue operating under the confidence-and-supply agreement that has helped keep the government in power over the last two ye
And the NDP get a little closer to forming government.
My grandmother would be so pleased by that comment. Because of the times she grew up in she did not have the benefit of an education but politics was something she paid attention to, especially later in her life, which always surprised me a bit. I recall she used to encourage me to vote NDP because "they were the only ones that cared about people", as she always put it. Back then (90's, 00's) I wasn't completely onboard with that but I have changed my views over the years and I do see now what she saw then.
It will be interesting to see how these steps forward that they have been behind affect the support for the party going forward to the next Federal election.

For some reason, the farming community I grew up in believed the Alberta NDP were best for the province. I was very conservative and fell for the PC rhetoric that the NDP would bankrupt the province. I liked Grant Notley, and when Rachael got her shot, I thought she did well. Rookie mistakes, but 100% less corruption and graft.
Seeing how far the UCP have strayed from the conservative value of a pro-business government to an anti-taxpayer one, I can't in good concious vote for them or the CPC, I'll never vote for anyone named 'Trudeau', so that leaves one option. And I don't doubt Jagneet tries to be a good person.
Cons in principal and Cons in practice are not the same thing. Back in the 80's when they had a bone to pick over spending they had a point about wasteful spending but now it has become a grift. It's not how money is being spent is the problem to them, it's that they are not the ones reaping the benefit exclusively from it. They can't even run on personal liberty now because they have now gone all in on othering the lgbtq crowd to feed their base. It was Trudeau senior that said 'No place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation'. Something lost on the rabble that flock to pp now.

I've never quite viewed the NDP (or insert any other party) the same as the NDP (or other). The issues at hand on either level tend to have differences on importance and how the parties approach decisions.
Pay down the deficit, buy an aircraft carrier and give another tax break to the wealthy instead.
Rinse, repeat.
