Re: Federal ndp ensure they are unelectable (leap manifesto)

Not sure if anyone has caught this, I consider myself pretty left leaning but this thing is incredibly short sighted. While not implemented, the discussion they are having over it will cost them a LOT of political capital.

Provincially, I don't think this is good for any ndp party, but especially Rachel Notley.
You never know man... We have our views in Alberta/Sask, but a lot of the rest of Canada wants to ditch oil, especially young voters.
Keep in mind the NDP got voted in, in Alberta. This is a sign that anything is possible. It scares the crap out of me.
Seperate note:
I've been seeing more and more people suggest a "hidden agenda" on the liberal side as well, as far as getting rid of fossil fuels (last mention I saw was an article written by Rex Murphy mentioning a possible hidden agenda, written in the past week, he started off talking about the NDP's and their leap manifesto, then moved in to the Liberals). I see it happening, especially with a speech given by the federal Environment Minister talking about how we won't be able to leave it in the ground "overnight", and that the budget reflects (eliminating) it.
Freaky times ahead...
