The prospect of an NDP government in British Columbia is exposing what could become an area of contention among federal NDP leadership hopefuls. NDP Leader John Horgan has vowed to fight if he forms a minority government with support from the B.C. Under leader Tom Mulcair, the federal NDP has taken a more moderate stance on pipelines, which he reiterated last week. The party opposes the Kinder Morgan pipeline on the grounds that the Liberals haven’t yet overhauled Canada’s environmental assessment process, but has not come out against pipelines point-blank. “We are very vulnerable as a party, especially when our opponents are usually better funded,” he said.
