He's not only describing the problem, he's putting the finger on the source and pointing it out. And it looks like it's this unfettered capitalism that the conservatives and liberals have been pushing and gaslighting us into believing it's the only solution to our economic problems, when it's ,in fact, the very source.

Wowie! The province that elected Orange Team likes the Orange Team. 🤯

It's not a great comparison, really - the Manitoba Orange Team more strongly resembles the Federal Red Team in most respects.

Winnipeg suburbs breaking NDP in a federal election is far from a sure thing.

And the Federal Red Team is actually the Blue Team in disguise. What a world.

That's quite the jump and it seems to have come from the cons.

People don't talk about it much, but a significant chunk of the NDP base (~10%, if I remember correctly) jumped to the Conservatives, not the Liberals, in the last election. Some of these numbers might be them returning?

Could be. PP ran on some pro-labour economic populism that you'd expect from a demsoc NDP that we didn't have at the time. I could see some people giving that a try in the hope he was not lying (he was) instead of the banker. That wouldn't be an unreaaonable move. Now that demsoc economic populism is the NDP program, they can stop taking the placebo. 😅
