Demographer Andy Yan said that B.C. and the U.S. “don’t repeat, but we rhyme” Growing divides between rural and urban areas, and between white collar and blue collar workers, are driving polarization that led Trump to win back the American Rust Belt and the NDP to lose ground south of the Fraser .

Yan said this is a flip from the days when the NDP was the party of labour.

The left has focused too much on “lofty ideals” instead of communicating what they would do to address concerns such as affordability.

The left needs to be doing more to connect with working-class people by attending the same events and using simple, straightforward language, says a former communications expert.
