We have one. Actually, we have more than one if you want to get technical. What we need is a viable third party that knows what they're doing and won't capitulate at the first sign of inconvenience while continuing to lie to constituents about their real goals and the current political situation. Also, the so-called progressive NDP needs to stop kicking people out for taking a stance against the Israeli genocide of Palestinians (yes, that happened; look up Sarah Jama's unceremonious ousting, among others).

Nothing will change without electoral reform that does away with first-past-the-post (FPTP). I personally like single transferable vote (STV) or mixed member proportional (MMPR) voting systems, but even a ranked ballot would be better than what we have now.

It's important to separate the provincial NDP from the federal NDP. They each have their faults, but they're different faults, and we shouldn't blame the provincial parties for things Singh has done, and we shouldn't blame Singh for things provincial NDP parties have done.

I mean, they're the same party. Literally. They have different entities within them focused on different geographical regions, but your provincial and federal NDP memberships are one and the same thing.
