This more or less validates where I am on him. It seems you've parsed most of the same info as me and come to similar conclusions. I'm cautiously optimistic. There's lots of important implementation details that could make him better or worse. For example he's been concerned with wealth inequality before it was cool, however it matters how you address that. You could make things better for corpos and hoping they'll increase wages, which some have done in the past. You could strengthen labour rights to increase union density and therefore wages. One of those does not work. :D On one hand concrete policy proposals could shed light. On the other, it doesn't matter because Freeland is worse and she has lesser chance to prevent the worst case scenario. 😂
He's releasing a new book in may where he talks about the future of Canada. Have we ever had any other politician with long term dreams, clearly stated?
That excites me.
Yeah. I mean, Canada does have bright future under non-neolib governance. We have a lot of territory that won't be devastated by climate change (some will). More natural resources than we could possibly use. The culture to generally tolerate imported labour when the general material conditions are decent. If he's really worried about climate change, and by all accounts it seems he is, he might be thinking about Canada's future as his own in a long term climate sanctuary context. I would if I were running for a PM.
