Also, the so-called progressive NDP needs to stop kicking people out for taking a stance against the Israeli genocide of Palestinians (yes, that happened; look up Sarah Jama’s unceremonious ousting, among others).
It’s important to separate the provincial NDP from the federal NDP. They each have their faults, but they’re different faults, and we shouldn’t blame the provincial parties for things Singh has done, and we shouldn’t blame Singh for things provincial NDP parties have done.

I mean, they’re the same party. Literally. They have different entities within them focused on different geographical regions, but your provincial and federal NDP memberships are one and the same thing.
While I don’t disagree, the ONDP and the federal NDP are a lot closer in ideology IMO than, say, the BCNDP and the federal NDP.
Since I live in Ontario and there’s an election coming up provincially as well as federally, their constant failures are at the forefront of my mind and I think the provincial strategy is relevant to mention here since it ultimately shares a lot in common with the federal one. The federal NDP has been shockingly silent on Palestine for many years, well predating the most recent stage of the conflict.
All of this is just my opinion, though. If you want to keep them separate that’s your business.
