With only a year left as New Democratic Party Leader, Thomas Mulcair let loose against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government Saturday, accusing it of breaking “one promise after another.”

“Whether it’s Justin Trudeau, Paul Martin or Jean Chrétien, it’s the same fight. Whoever takes up the torch (as NDP leader) in a year will be able to make a complete list of everything the Liberals said they would do, which they had no intention of doing,” Mulcair thundered in a speech to a hundred delegates at a convention of the party’s Quebec wing in downtown Montreal.

Mulcair listed what he said were all the Trudeau government’s broken promises, depicting the NDP as the only progressive voice in Ottawa. The outgoing leader criticized Trudeau for not restoring home mail delivery, appearing to have backtracked on electoral reform and going ahead with the sale of tanks to Saudi Arabia.

“This is not a party that believes in peace. It is a party which goes against its own principles, which has no principles, and which we will continue to denounce far and wide,” he said.
