The NDP in Canada has done great work to help advance dental care for Canadians. In recent days, their convention was derailed by idpol. On the bright side, some attendees spoke out against idpol

A trans woman was upset that a different woman was allowed to speak before them.

The non-binary presenter was making sure to correct people who called them a chairwoman.

That said, there were other folks who spoke up against the "equity cards", like the woman in the second half of the video.

EDIT: I may have misunderstood this video. I am not sure if the woman in the second half was speaking out against the "equity cards" or if she was in support of them.

It is disappointing to see idpol derail this conference but it is also heartening to see people who were tired of it. I think we are close to a day where we can move past idpol. Social justice is important, idpol is not social justice.

I know this subreddit is to my left (as a social democrat), but the NDP has done good for Canadians (expanding dental care).
