Mulcaring: Friends of Kim Jong-Tom

It's for your own good.
Just as Tom Mulcair attempts to convince Canadians that the NDP is a safe, moderate choice in the Oct. 19 election, some of his party's highest profile supporters are issuing a manifesto calling for a radical restructuring of the country's economy.

The "leap manifesto," signed by more than 100 actors, musicians, labour unions, aboriginal leaders, environmentalists and other activists, aims to pressure the next federal government to wean Canada entirely off fossil fuels in as little as 20 years and, in the process, upend the capitalist system on which the economy is based.

[...] among the celebrity signatories are a number of prominent NDP supporters, including former Ontario NDP leader Stephen Lewis, father of Avi, who gave a rousing introduction for Mulcair at a campaign event in Toronto last month.
Along with the usual suspects.



The "leap manifesto".

This reminds me of "The Great Leap Forward" in Communist China from 1958-1961.

Even according to Wikipedia (of all sources), "[c]ritics claim the Great Leap ended in catastrophe, resulting in tens of millions of deaths."

The ultimate consequences of leftist thinking and behaviour are death.
