I really hope the NDP makes a strong comeback

Afaik this is a senate bill and similar to s210 from last parliament, the NDP voted in favour of that one last session which I’m extremely disappointed about, I recall the NDP being pro privacy in the past, which totally got some of my friends interested in them in the first place.

Ah, you’re correct (sadly). Now that you mention it I remember the NDP voting in favour for that which is depressing to say the least

Politicians gonna politician. They will all will be in favour of this kind of citizen tracking because it makes enforcing policy easier, doesn’t matter if it is Liberal, Conservative, or NDP.
