Because every time the NDP get in power they try to make drastic changes that hurt them in the short term. It takes a party more than one term to figure out how hard you can pull the levers of government without causing major issues, and the NDP can't get over that hurdle provincially. Notley's AB NDP were the most pragmatic NDP so far, but Alberta's gonna Alberta.

The logic of

Provincial NDP = Federal NDP

We gotta remember not everyone can see a difference, and it's because they make an active choice not to.

It is literally the same party federally and provincially.

Several provinces are trying to detach, namely Alberta for Alberta reasons.

They've never been in power Federally

Because they've left a bad taste provincially with a lot of people.

How? Exactly what have they done that's so bad?

As far as I can tell, in Ontario, their sins amounted to:

  • Getting voted in just as a recession hit
  • Legislating one mandatory unpaid vacation day for civil servants so that they didn't have to fire anyone
  • Being the NDP, and thusly earning the ire of the business community in Ontario, who promptly ratfucked them.

Meanwhile, the Harris conservatives can actually have people murdered and it's "Welp, they're just common sense!"
