I’ve always felt a bit off about the current NDP leadership, overtly negative blamey messaging, conflating federal and provincial responsibilities. The party as of 2021 was keeping all of the campaign reimbursements instead of that going to the candidates. They seem to have no local presence, Tories and Liberals have door knocked and sent out information multiple times in the last year, I don’t even know who my federal NDP candidate is locally. Provincially, our NDP person is super active and actually responds to me when I contact them so it’s not just an NDP thing.
I really disliked that they supported bill s-210 that’s the age verification bill, historically the NDP seemed to be pro privacy, disappointed at that apparent departure.
I’m seriously reconsidering voting NDP in the upcoming election. I’m registered to vote from abroad, so I don’t get to vote for a good local candidate. I’ll be keeping an eye on who’s running the parties and see who seems like they might be better for Canada if they manage to beat wee PP…

How does that work wrt to abroad voting? Do you vote for the candidate in the last riding you resided in?
That’s actually a really good question. And to be honest, I’m not entirely sure. Here’s what the government has to say on the matter:
