Singh’s private member’s bill, which aims to bring down the cost of basic essentials, passed second reading in the House of Commons with the support of Conservative and Bloc Québécois MPs.

Liberals have voted against the bill, with some accusing the NDP leader of trying to stifle free enterprise.

Why, in Canada, is the only party that tries to address most people's problems also the only party that people never vote into government? Why do Canadians run back and forth between Liberals and Conservatives when neither will work for their well being?

They make boneheaded decisions occasionally like supporting the porn ID bill and it’s enough to make people hesitate.

There’s also a common narrative online that the NDP doesn’t actually support or care about labour anymore. It doesn’t really hold up when you actually take a critical look into the NDP’s actions but that’s too much effort for most people.
