    but if I’m not mistaken the universal pharma and dentalcare we have now were initiatives pushed by the NDP that the Liberals get credit for because they were the ones holding the PM seat.

    No one who has any political awareness would give the liberals credit for that. That was the NDP’s contribution.

      Same as universal health care… it was an NDP initiative that the Liberals took nationally.

      Without the NDP, our Liberals suck… which is why I am sad after this election (still happy PP won’t be around)

        I’m hopeful that it really is just a temporary thing given the Trump situation and with a new leader and that behind us (might take more than 1 term of course) that they’ll be able to come back stronger and make the Liberals advance things they wouldn’t otherwise again. Also you never know, maybe they’ll get some leverage with the current set up, but seems less likely for this term.
