    I highly doubt the liberals would have done any of that if not for the NDP. They didn’t implement any of it with “help” from the NDP, and only did it after the threat of toppling their government. Not exactly gonna clap for them when they weren’t going to do it in the first place.

      Well, these were all platform promises through many of those “lost Liberal years”, so I’m not sure where the doubt comes from. They made good on their promise, and continue to deliver.

      The NDP absolutely helped tip the scale when they had a minority government, because the cons would never give their support.

      The point is, conservative governments don’t like socialism when it helps people, and thank the gods that the liberals and NDP do!
