Because for some unbelievably stupid reason Bob Rae’s single term as Ontario’s premier, from 1990 to 1995, burnt Canada on ever having a federal NDP gov’t.
I mean the venom with which people discuss his one and only term would make you think that Rae was the absolutely worst thing to ever have happened and we could never, ever EVER take a chance on the NDP again.
In an alternate universe, one can imagine there’s a Tory leader who’s spoken of the same way and has made them unpalatable.
Harper’s mine but that’s when I actually could vote so I’m biased. Maybe Diefenbaker? Know some people who romanticise the avro arrow who dislike him for canning it and blame it for brain drain.

In an alternate universe Jack Layton would have been with us long enough to form an NDP government.
