The NDP really doesn't have a leg to stand on, let alone to throw their weight around. If they topple the government and force another election anytime soon, the electorate will absolutely stomp on them.

When faced with an existential threat, humans do not do the foundational things that prevent those threats from returning. They tackle the facade. Trying to be threatening to stability while everyone feels so deeply threatened and unstable is more likely to destroy the party than to accomplish anything, no matter how good an idea they may want to push.

Plus, the BQ has already thrown their support behind Carney.

The NDP needs to get their house in order, and actually build support by being active members of the community again, and not just the milquetoast social democrat political party with no media outlet backing them.

They’re all voting anti-Liberal, not pro-Conservative.

There are more than two parties running in every riding in Alberta. They don't show them the time of day, either.

They're just smart enough to be embarrassed for their pro-conservative votes.

Jesus, I know some people have weirdly hostile reactions to the Examiner, but come on.

Unpopular opinion, I know, but downvotes are an anti-feature, designed to excuse big, for-profit social media from actually moderating their platforms. They have no place in real social spaces.

You answer your own question.

They value winning too much to actually fall apart, unfortunately.

He's literally the NDP premiere of Manitoba...

There's nothing secret about it. They told us up front.

It's why I stopped using Windows.

Alberta takes every opportunuty to sniff its own farts. They believe they are better than the rest of us, and that they have a divine right to tell us what to do.

Not necessarily at the individual level, but at the provincial, cultural level.

They're into the same wild self-egrandizing as the Americans. They can't say anything good about themselves without sneering at someone else. They are selfish, they are bullies, and they are a national embarrasment.
