An Uneasy Marriage
From: The Fire and the Ashes
$1.30
This chapter examines the marriage of labour and social democracy in Canada, which dates to the founding of the New Democratic Party in 1961. He suggests that the NDP has moderated its ideological stances in recent years, exemplified by Thomas Mulcair’s fixation on balanced budgets and his opposition to raising tax rates on very high earners.
