Maybe I'm judging him a little too quickly. I sure hope you're right. I don't want any more austerity measures for economy's sake. I want to start taxing the richest Canadians who have been using their near monopoly status to exploit working class Canadians to increase their fortune without any opposition.
I'm just tired of not having accessible public medical care anymore and underfunded schools where teachers are quitting because it's become too difficult due to lack of resources and cuts. Y'know?
Plus there's the whole real estate business that's basically keeping the Canadian economy afloat and causing property prices and rent to surge beyond what the average person can afford even with a good paying job.
Those are my concerns and I don't feel the Liberal party has addressed any of those and applied pressure or enabled provincial governments to address these things for the past decade.
Anyway. I really hope he's how you say he is.
I'm with you on all these points and concerns. I'm just reading the tea leaves and hoping it won't be another austerity shit show. There are positive signs but there are also negative signs (he said "we can't redistribute what we don't have"). We won't know which ones are slogans and which ones are real policy beliefs until he says more or becomes a PM. In the end, it seems like Freeland and PP are worse and Jagmeet is unelectable judging by the polls.
In my riding the NDP candidate takes about 10% every election and they're now polling at 5%. So for me the choice is even simpler. If the race in your riding is CPC/NDP then perhaps yours is simple too. ☺️
That's a shame. I think the NDP is that we've needed for a long time. Since Harper left. But if even Jack Layton couldn't get the NDP elected, I don't know what will.
I think if Layton had ran in the subsequent elections instead of Mulcair and Jagmeet, he'd have made government instead of Trudeau.
Yeah. If he didn't have that cancer...
It's unfair.
