The only mention the NDP gets in the story is:

For the past few years, the New Democrats have pushed for a windfall tax on the record profits of grocery giants. Justin Trudeau initially rejected the idea, calling it “simplistic,” then shifted to vaguely threatening to implement it, without following through. Meanwhile, the Conservatives have expressed constant opposition.

It would be interesting to use them as a control, assuming they haven't received the same donations. Are they proposing stronger legislation or policy?

I don't understand why the NDP don't do better in elections. It astonishes me that Canadians won't vote for the only party with any real will to address the problems that affect them daily. Do people really think the Conservatives have the best interests of the common people at heart?

For me personally, I do not see them having much of a backbone. It appears that their insecurities lead them to waver when conviction is called for.
