Socialist is a broad term that can basically mean anything you want it to be, so yes.

I think there's some stuff in their constitution that could accurately be described as socialism but nothing in their current practice.

Didn't NDP explicitly vote to disown the label a few years back (and in doing so outdoing even Blair's clause IV rewriting)?

IIRC it was debated in their last convention but it didn't pass?
