Just like all this other economies with Social Democratic governments have crashed.? I really wish we could get beyond this simple groupthink of alt right and alt left.  It serves no purpose.  Canada has not and never has had a truly left wing or socialist party.  This constant refrain that the NDP will crash the economy is akin to an article of faith, it is a belief system. It is merely the mirror image of the belief that somehow Conservatives are the only ones who can make the finances work.  The result of this Manichaean view is the Liberals slithering up the middle to win, and please, don't tell me the LPC is a left wing party.  In any political system outside of the US Liberalism, that is, private enterprise under the rule of law , is firmly centre right.
Too bad that any NDP governments have usually come in to office faced with a huge mess to clean up.  Gordon Campbell inherited a large surplus when he came in to office - where is it now?
