Comment: "New Democrat Leader Tom Mulcair, called on Butts to distance himself from Bannon"

The NDP, with this ridiculous criticism, failed pathetically to present themselves as competent critics of the Liberal government.

The two key advisors, like them or loathe them, to two nations who are each others' biggest trading partners, close allies and next-door neighbours, should have a close working relationship.

Butts and Bannon's only common ground is their positions in the two administrations.

The NDP's attempt to present Butt's relationship with Bannon as some sort of bothers-in-malfeasance kinship is simply a measure of the party's failure to present a modus operandi that can be taken seriously by Canadian voters.

The Trudeau Liberals ate the NDP's lunch in the last election and continue to do so and this sad excuse for criticism shows why moderate and progressive Canadians place little faith in the NDP's judgement.
