The NDP helped build Canada’s welfare state. Now, under pressure from Donald Trump’s tariffs and a shifting political terrain, the party risks electoral annihilation as voters split between technocratic centrism and right-wing populism.

We don't have a left in Canada. At least if you're talking about amongst parties that have more than five seats before this election.

The NDP hasn't been leftist in the slightest since Jack Layton died. Half the time they're more right than the Liberals, who are proud center right with their left leaning policies to promote right leaning goals. Having a couple of left leaning policy amongst a swarm of right leaning ones doesn't make you leftist at all. Just more than than the borderline neo-Nazis that the Cons have become (and arguably always have been).
