I wouldn’t call it a con. NDP just hasn’t offered a good enough federal leadership since Jack Layton. And I wouldn’t say the liberals rule entirely on the right, they have made plenty of good progressive strides. I think this type of rhetoric is conservatives trying to weasel their way into an “I told you our ideas were good” territory. The real issue is that corporatism is very embedded in politics and the economy is highly dependent on their success.
