Overnight NDP members want us to believe they have turned their back on their entire disastrous heritage. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3276033\" data-originallang=\"en\">The leader of the NDP wants to leave the impression he has stopped the socialist heartbeat of the NDP. He will have little success. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3276034\" data-originallang=\"en\">The NDP remains a proud member of Socialist International. The NDP socialist caucus was out in full force last weekend supporting resolutions praising Hugo Chavez, nationalizing Canadian industry, boycotting Israel and shutting down our resource sector and industries.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3276035\" data-originallang=\"en\">While the NDP champagne socialists in the House may attempt to turn their backs on their comrades, it is no secret that socialism is alive and well in the NDP. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3276036\" data-originallang=\"en\">Canadians are listening when NDP members for <a data-HoCid=\"170756\" href=\"/politicians/niki-ashton/\" title=\"Niki Ashton\">Churchill</a> and <a data-HoCid=\"170224\" href=\"/politicians/libby-davies/\" title=\"Libby Davies\">Vancouver East</a> warn the NDP leader, \u201cYou can kick socialism out of the NDP constitution, but you can't kick the socialists and their ideology out of the NDP\u201d.</p>",

Du jour au lendemain, les d\u00e9put\u00e9s n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates veulent nous faire croire qu'ils ont renonc\u00e9 \u00e0 leur d\u00e9sastreux h\u00e9ritage. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3276033\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le chef du NPD cherche \u00e0 nous donner l'impression qu'il a fait taire l'\u00e2me socialiste de son parti. Il n'aura gu\u00e8re de succ\u00e8s.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3276034\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le NPD est toujours membre de l'Internationale socialiste, et il en est fier. Les membres du caucus socialiste du NPD \u00e9taient nombreux, la fin de semaine derni\u00e8re, \u00e0 appuyer des r\u00e9solutions visant \u00e0 rendre hommage \u00e0 Hugo Chavez, \u00e0 nationaliser l'industrie canadienne, \u00e0 boycotter Isra\u00ebl et \u00e0 fermer le secteur des ressources et les industries primaires. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3276035\" data-originallang=\"en\">M\u00eame si les d\u00e9put\u00e9s socialistes embourgeois\u00e9s du NPD peuvent tenter de tourner le dos \u00e0 leurs camarades, tout le monde sait que le socialisme est bel et bien vivant au sein du NPD.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3276036\" data-originallang=\"en\">La population \u00e9coute quand les d\u00e9put\u00e9es n\u00e9o-d\u00e9mocrates de <a data-HoCid=\"170756\" href=\"/politicians/niki-ashton/\" title=\"Niki Ashton\">Churchill</a> et de <a data-HoCid=\"170224\" href=\"/politicians/libby-davies/\" title=\"Libby Davies\">Vancouver-Est</a> disent \u00e0 leur chef qu'il peut retirer les r\u00e9f\u00e9rences au socialisme de la constitution du parti, mais qu'il ne peut pas sortir les socialistes et leur id\u00e9ologie du parti.</p>"
