| Separatism Redux |
The centre of gravity of the NDP has shifted to the two largest provinces – Ontario and Quebec. In a sense, having ousted the Bloc Quebecois from power in Ottawa, the NDP under Jack Layton and Thomas Mulcair has also done a bit of a time-shift, back to the turbulent 70's and 80's, when the burning question in Canada was whether it would stay united, or end up with some form of federal system between an independent Quebec and the ROC.
The Cat has thoughtfully provided a redesigned NDP logo which more correctly represents the 'new' New Democratic Party's centres of gravity, for consideration by Jack and his large Caucus.
