Just listen to all the financial promises they're making to various groups. These things require money. Lots of money. They are either lying, planning to sky rocket taxes, or will burn the economy to the ground. The NDP also opposes almost everything to do with expanding Canada's oil and gas industries.

So.. ya know. Burnt hust of an economy. Stalling of oil and gas industries. It's a stretch, but feels very Mad Max to me.

There's a very good reason the NDP has never won a federal election. They just can not be trusted with that kind of financial responsibility. They've won a few provincial elections over the years, but it never ends well. It takes decades for the party that comes in after them to clean up the mess.


Hmm? I would like sources, since their platform page doesn't list anything particularly off the calculation. And he is very correct at opposing expanding oil and gas industry. If anything, he should be reducing oil, while expanding gas slightly. Money from oil is going to quickly decline, as oil isn't going to be a cheapest energy source anymore. [1] Swanson effect isn't going anywhere, and Oil will also go down in price in order to compete.

Considering that our oil mostly comes from Tar Sand, I doubt it will continue to be competitive in global market.

It would also be nice to give me a source where NDP screw up worse than PC did, then other party had to clean it up, since apparently I can't do a good research. Because it is pretty difficult to top amount of waste PC is making.

I don't fully agree with Mulcair, his platform is missing many quick and easy solution that can be applied fast, and improve Canada.

But in other hand, Trudaeu is mix of meh, while Harper seems to be happy to drive Canada straight into the limbo.

However, even under this odd, I'm still not in favor of NDP Supermajority. Opinions are great, we need to keep opinions flowing.
