NDP leader Jagmeet Singh commented on the Conservatives' decision to vote against the GST Holiday, calling out Pierre Poilievre and the CPC for ”Bootlicking for Billionaires."
Left vs right is very real though. The left traditionally champions the workers, who are not well off because they’re being exploited by the capitalist darlings of the right. In fact, this class struggle has been the main point of both left and right politics for a long time, just on different sides.
They’re definitely interrelated. Though I would argue that the wealth disparities we see worldwide dictate the alignment of left and right – not the other way around.

There is no left vs right. There is only rich versus poor.
