there are socialist and then there are socialists. i used to be a die hard supporter of the canadian social democratic party the ndp(new democratic party). they tested my faith several times but when i was in britsh columbia. and the ndp came to power they cut the welfare payments by fifty bucks a month. while giving all the members of the legislature a fifty per cent raise. double to total saved by the fifty dollar drop for welfare recipients. they did a few other things that disgusted me but that was it for me. i vote liberal or green and work for liberal or green candidates now.

the scicial democratic movement has lost its way.
