HAMILTON — New Democrats attending the party’s policy convention are split over the deal their party has struck with the Liberals, as senior leadership focuses on pitching the NDP as the change voters are looking for in the next federal election.“NDP Leader Jagmeet is doing all the work of kicking Trudeau’s butt to get him to keep his election promises and Trudeau is getting all the credit,” said Alanna Johnston, a delegate from Toronto.
“In certain places we should have gotten more. I think we’ve had some failures in marketing what we have gotten and differentiating ourselves,” he said. Several delegates who spoke with The Canadian Press at the NDP convention expressed their frustrations with the party’s low polling numbers. An emergency resolution that’s been given top priority on Saturday calls for the party to pull out of the confidence-and-supply deal unless the Liberals commit to a universal and entirely public pharmacare program.“They want to kick and scream like children, but when it comes to actually getting work done and moving Canada forward, they refuse to co-operate with anybody.”
About 540 people were at the first day of the convention, with about 1,200 people set to attend throughout the weekend. That was a theme highlighted throughout Friday by keynote speakers, many of whom are in power after defeating conservative-leaning candidates, or are part of provincial opposition parties that go up daily against Conservative leaders.And the Canadian Labour Congress president Bea Bruske called Poilievre a sham who is stealing the language of the working class.
