The plummeting poll numbers for Justin Trudeau and the federal Liberals might not seem as dire if Canada had adopted a new voting system.

The NDP are certainly not bold enough or left enough for my liking but to say they're not left wing at all is disingenuous

They're not very left-wing by objective standards, or compared to their roots, but by modern, Overton-window-has-shifted-to-the-right standards they're left-wing.

But there's a grain of truth in what the parent is saying: if you cost out the platforms of Jagmeet Singh or Andrea Horwath from the last elections, you'll find they're less economically liberal than Brian Mulroney or Mike Harris.
