Well according to the "No We Can't" wing of the ONDP even if it's a minor issue, the Liberals will jump on it and cost the NDP votes, thereby depriving people of hearing "the more pressing issues." Supposedly the NDP is all set to deliver the most amazing, dynamic, progressive platform, etc. but they can't come into power and do all these wonderful things if there's as much as a sentence about separate schools.
I think it's a gift for the Liberals, and they should run with it next election. They'll prolly steal a bunch of votes from the Tories for it, too. Luck to them, and let them do battle for progressive old line party supporters who always vote rain or shine. And if the ONDP must represent a protest vote for wayward old line party supporters with kids and grandkids in separate schools by the NDP remaining sub-neutral on the issue, then it's a chance I think we should take. It's dirty, I know, but the last week of the last election was pretty nonsensical as far as I could tell.
