MODERATORS
The NDP already represent a lot of what the majority of Canadians want, but fearmongering about sOciALiSm, and the party having to move more towards the center to try and meet the Liberals halfway has diluted their brand.
The people who would never vote for them anyways think that they're too far left, and the people who used to support them see them as too-eager-to-please to the current Liberal government.
If you could magically snap away people's preconcieved notions and team mentality towards politics, and had them read party policies carte blanche, I think a large portion of Canadians would go NDP, especially if they went back to their traditional policies and mindset.
You could say the same about any of the parties. Their platforms all sound great, it's the implementation and actual outcomes that differ.
The People's Party (I know, kinda cheating) Platform is pretty easy to tell which party it is. It's pro conversion therapy(shock treatments, "pray the gay away" camps/prisons), including on children, and anti-trans. It even name-drops Jordan Peterson.
That's pretty easy to spot and avoid.
The cons say that they don't believe that Canada should have a carbon tax, or a carbon cap as a national policy as #31 of their Policy Declaration.
That's also pretty easy to avoid.
I could see someone looking the NDP and LIb platforms and not being able to tell which is which, though they could pretty easily figure out that they are not right-wing.
