One membership card and identical policy structures.

This is not the case anymore.  Why?  Saskatchewan and Manitoba both had provincial elections in April.  Federal NDP leader, Thomas Mulcair, was a no show in both provinces to add his support to the provincial NDP.  Former NDP Manitoba premier Greg Selinger and B.C.
