Crazy how the only one of these airing criticism that says the budget isn't doing enough is the publicly owned one.

Weed, dental care, capital gain tax, carbon tax, decent COVID response (by western standards)
Can't say much more because I wasn't paying attention to canpoli 3y ago
Child Benefit, Daycare subsidy 10$ a day, Greener homes grants, Greener home loans, new tax bracket on the rich (twice), home building accelerator funds, huge infrastructure spending, independent senate, supporting trans rights including affirming care benefits for federal workers, women's healthcare access including pressure on previously restrictive provinces to provide, pension boost from 1/4 to 1/3, GIS increase, rollback Harper's change to retirement age(OAS) back to 65 from 67, Canada disability benefit, lifted 91 long term water boil advisories, student loan interest cancellation and extended repayment terms.
But anyway he's done nothing of note, and we should treat him with scorn and derision. It will be especially helpful if that scorn and derision help reenforced the done nothing image the CPC wants to project on Trudeau, and helps elect a Majority CPC government.
Oh hell yeah, the CCP changes have been good. Great list!
The NDP got dental care through. The Liberals delayed enacting it significantly, and we've ended up with unnecessary needs assessments.
But I'll grant you the rest.
I guess. But when assessing the PM tenure, I'm more concerned whether the political landscape was good enough to pass good legislation or not, regardless of who proposes/pushes the most for it. Otherwise I'd end up just assigning almost everything good the Liberals did right as an NDP win (which may be fair but it's not useful when discussing PMs).
But I see the Liberals as important articulators the NDP can only negotiate with when the Liberals leadership has the social capital to side with progressives. I think they did a good job managing the average Canadian voter-base for a decade, before the pendulum swing inevitably going back to retrogrades.
