Finally, someone calls the NDP on this shit. It only took 30 years:

1988. Federal election. The Nation as at odds over whether to sign the FTA (which wasn't really about free trade but it took us about a decade to figure that out.) Ed Broadbent knows what his campaign must do to save Canada. He steps up to the podium, frames the issue, and...

Undermines the credibility of the most voiciferous opponent of the deal. Yes ladies and gentlemen Ed Broadbent helped get the free trade deal through because he was too damn busy attacking Turner as dishonest. I'm not saying it was the whole ball game, but it was enough.

So today Paul Martin attacks Jack Layton for shiving the Grits to aid the Cons so that the NDP can do better in relation to the Liberals. Well duh.
