		After a week on the picket lines they were legislated back to work by the BC New Democratic Party government.

		The party machine had practically anointed her by the beginning of the late November weekend leadership and policy convention with endorsements from Jenny Kwan and both BC NDP MPs (predictably and appropriately, outgoing leader Joy McPhail declined to offer any endorsement).
		The party strategy is to work throughout the province to reconnect with people: while the Liberals have supporters with deep pockets and large corporate media interests, the NDP has humanity and a bond with people themselves.
		But the party failing to elect a new leader who explicitly speaks for an ideology and set of principles that the NDP was founded on—ideologies that are required to make any meaningful stand against corporate imperialistic globalization—may ensure the party's irrelevance as populist civil movements continue to move into the forefront of saving our democracy.
