I can't believe people don't like this guy. Have you seen the other politicians?
I think it's the racism. Which is really unfortunate.
Can you provide me some reasons to like him?
Seems all I hear about is a weak party, pandering to the Liberals and not much else leading to lasting change.
EDIT: To anyone downvoting... I'm not being malicious. I'm trying to learn and I think it's best to learn from people who already have the knowledge for me to draw from. I'm not up to date on current NDP platforms as they seem fairly under represented in our political reporting.
He wants to tax the rich, and increase universal health coverage. Dental (already got some of this through), prescription medications, and mental health care for all. The last one is huge, because a lot of homelessness is directly related to addiction and mental health.
Also, if you are a Canadian who received CERB cheques during the covid-19 lockdowns, you can thank the NDP. The NDP have also been pushing for paid sick days for workers Canada-wide, which has happened, but not to the extent that they wanted.
