It apparently took Stephen Harper and his party several years in office to figure out that what happens beyond Canada's borders is actually important enough to be worth their time.
Needless to say, it's good news to see that the NDP isn't taking such a limited view in advance of its push to form government. Which should both ensure greater links to international allies as the NDP works to win power, and ensure that it's ideally positioned to start reversing the Cons' damage if and when it gets the chance.
Oh, great, formal links with the British Labour party. Maybe they could give us lessons in how to properly supplicate billionaires.
ReplyDeleteA fair point to be sure. But I'd think it's better to build formal links which will allow for common progressive ideas and messages to be shared across borders - rather than leaving single-country parties to figure they're on their own (and thus have to triangulate) against a right-wing movement that's better organized.
