    I know that the fed NDP and the BCNDP are not the same party, but seeing the betrayal union workers are facing in BC under an NDP government is really shaking any sort of hope I’ve had for a party that truly gives any fucks about the people. I’ll continue to support federally but just feel so hesitant and pessimistic about it all.

      It’s why participating in shaping parties before elections is important. David Eby is a lawyer. Currently there’s a union guy running for a federal NDP leather. Pessimism is healthy and warranted. It’s why we should act when there’s opportunity for improvment.
