NDP changes

Canada’s New Democratic Party has made a move that would have been unthinkable not too many years ago.

They have voted to strip the more hard core Socialist language from the party books.

The new, longer statement of core principles drops references to Socialism, and instead talks about a rules-based economy and a just, equal, and sustainable Canada.

Leader Tom Mulcair says they want to reach more Canadians who might not understand what the NDP stands for.
