NDP platform reveal

[Hoid]

income level should not determine access to services

 

[Hoid]

people at the top to contribute "a little more"

1% tax on the richest of the rich.

liberals and conservatives have been working for too long for these people

 

[Hoid]

building 500,000 affordable homes

 

[Hoid]

will call the missing woman "genocide"

 

[Hoid]

sweeping changes to prevent it happening again

 

[Hoid]

end carding

 

[Hoid]

end of speech with standard NDP stuff

the big reveal is the "historic expansion" of healthcare

that is probably tailored to Ontario

 

[Hoid]

My view: this is not going to be enough. The healthcare thing is probably spot on - because all sorts of Ontarians are waking up to the reality that Ford is going to **** them over in order to fund a subway for Toronto but on the national front it does not address the issue that is killing them,.

Rachel Notley in the process of losing her own government in Alberta has managed to pretty much ruin the entire NDP as the reply to conservatism.

That mantle now goes to the Liberals (east of Alberta) and the Greens (west of Alberta)

Singh has done nothing to defuse the specter of an NDP government threatening working class Canadians with financial ruin in order to facilitate an oil pipeline.

Frankly I doubt he can.

I kept company even though I only read the thread title.

 

[Hoid]

The liberals are making the election about pharmacare so the ndp one ups them.

Like the liberals one upped the ndp on the plastic ban.

 

[taxslave]

Good indication that both are bad ideas.
