Shannon Proudfoot: In his convention speech, the NDP leader sought to draw a line between Liberals who say nice things, and an NDP that fights for the hardest-hit Canadians

Singh and deputy leader Alexandre Boulerice hold a news conference in Montreal on March 29, 2021 leader’s address

The Liberals had proposed a paltry 10-per cent wage subsidy last spring, but the NDP fought to make it 75 per cent, Singh said, while his party had also leaned on the government to double payments of the Canada Emergency Response Benefit to $2,000 a month. And while the Liberals funnelled money to their friends at WE Charity, Singh sneered, the NDP had ensured students had the support they needed and workers had the paid sick leave they needed.

Even as he sounded the alarm about the urgency of the third wave of the pandemic washing currently over the country, Singh offered a hopeful glimpse of a future that won’t be mired in business closures, anxious case-counting and desperation for vaccines. Over and over in different contexts, he portrayed the Liberals as pretty-talking hypocrites who say the right things about progressive policy and substantive change, but then revert to protecting elite interests.

Oh go away, please!

I smell Trudeau’s cock on your breath.

Oh god! He’s not still on his pretty words shtick is he.

Honestly, if you’re a progressive you should vote for the NDP. Liberals pretend they’re just as progressive and will get things done but they never really do. That said, I’d not vote NDP or Liberal so take my comment for what it’s worth.

More Pandering, more gaslighting. Why vote Lieberal lite (NDP) when you could just vote Lieberal? Yawn.
