The NDP is on life support. Where does it go next?

Xtra: This is where the paths to the party’s future are starting to present themselves—how do they recapture the labour vote? How do they try to make themselves relevant to voters who aren’t extremely online and are more concerned with working-class issues and not whether they are current with the algorithmic capital-D Discourse? Or how do they try to build on the successes of the provincial NDP in provinces like B.C. or Manitoba when the political landscape in many provinces varies much more than it does federally?
