In Canada we have 3 main parties, the most popular 2 are Liberals and
Progressive Conservatives, which closely match your Democrats and
Republicans. But that third party, the NDP (National Democratic Party),
is more ultra Left, support the unions, want more money for poor people,
lower taxes for the middle class, better healthcare, higher pensions
and such, but they will never get elected because the only way they
could fund this is to either bankrupt the country in overspending and/or
by taxing the hell out of the rich, which is usually their main platform..

Much of their monetary support comes from the Unions..
