text: There is a reason that Canadians have never elected the NDP to power, and silly propositions such as the above can give you some hints why Canadians have such low confidence in them.  While "NDP" stands for the "New Democratic Party", it predecessor name was the Communist Party of Canada until the 1950's.  Other highlights from their policy convention this past weekend was several speeches which declared that they are Canada's socialist party, and they voted explore adopting the "Leaf Manifesto" prior to the next Canadian election.  Aside from numerous "socialist ideals" that the Leaf Manifesto proclaims is the policy that upon being elected the NDP would stop all production and use of any fossil fuel.  That should give you an indication of their future chances of ever holding power in Canada, much less annexing the Turks and Caicos Islands.
