Seriously they're just Other Liberal Party right now.

Blame Layton for the party creep to centrist. He wasn't a bad guy, but he did that so the party could win a federal election (which they would have had he not gotten sick).

Tommy Douglas would be rolling in his grave if he could seen what the CCF/NDP has become.

True and then once they started modifying party constitution under Mulcair to remove references to socialism, I knew it was a done deal.

Yup. We are a social democracy and we're proud of that. The problem is the anti-'red' creep that some of us have adopted from America. Seems like we enjoy the healthcare, CPP, dental benefits, etc that the "social" part gives us, but many want the ability to deny that to people they don't like (often those with darker skin tones than us).

I believe in democracy, but I have a difficult time supporting those who would do harm to my neighbours by denying them the safeguards I enjoy.
