The Yukon NDP Really SOMETHING SOMETHING’d Up

In most elections a lot of bullshit promises are made, hell, just look at the Trudeau government, but at least those running try to pretend to stand for something.

Not so much the Yukon NDP.

The shallowness of campaign promises came to life recently when the party of frozen socialists accidentally published a variety graphics to their website that showed their plan to be, well, pretty much nothing.

"The Yukon NDP will SOMETHING SOMETHING environment," said one.

"The Yukon NDP will GOVERNMENT GOOD MAKE," read another.

That's some good marketing right there gang —at least throw in a "something, something dangerzone" for good measure.

The snafu was discovered by some Yukon voters who were quick to roast the party on Twitter and the NDP have taken it well.

"Something is better than nothing, #amirite, Yukon Party," the party tweeted out shortly after.

They say they accidentally uploaded the placeholder graphics.

"Campaigns are a such a hectic time with lots of creativity and lots of new ideas bouncing around. These kinds of things are bound to happen," Denise MacDonald, the Yukon NDP's communications manager, told the CBC.

"I think everybody who's had a website has had something similar happen. I think the public will be understanding. You have to have a good time and laugh once in a while."

The party has since fixed the error. Now, instead of it saying "GOVERNMENT GOOD MAKE" it says, "Transparent and working with you. Now that's something."

So, I guess, at the very least, the NDP will do something if elected but, in the end, who really knows?
