The NDP has some great policies. And they've had great policies ever since the party was created. So why haven't they won? Why now are they behind the CPC in the polls? I feel the following is the issue:

1.) Right wingers are more team oriented to their political party (IE, the CPC)

I think those who believe in a more individualistic society with less interventionist government are (ironically) more able to collectively get behind their team and donate and volunteer than are those on the left.

So even if the CPC does not exactly mirror an individual right-winger's vision of what they want, they will put that aside and still get behind their team. Thus, donations and volunteering are higher. And this gives the right a huge advantage. It's resulted in society incrementally moving right over the past forty years.

2.) Left wingers are less team oriented

By contrast, left wingers, who believe society should be a more community based collective endeavour rather than a non-interventionist individualistic endeavour, (ironically) sit back as individual arm-chair critics deriding their own team. They treat it as a product outside of themselves that needs a better shine to sell, rather than as a team-based movement toward a more just society. Thus, donations and support are low.

Until left wing people can get over that and instead support their team, there's little hope of success. So, start by joining the NDP and supporting them. That's the ticket forward.

This would be similar to prior acts that put restrictions on cigarette advertising. From the Act:

And whereas Parliament is of the opinion that fossil fuel advertising currently deploys techniques which knowingly mislead the public and fail to disclose the health and environmental harms associated with their use, impeding informed consumer decision-making, undermining public support for effective climate action and delaying the transition to safer, cleaner energy sources;

This Act will be coming up for second reading at some point. So, please write both the PM and your MP in support of this Act.

In the past, Liberals (under Chretien and then Martin) voted in favour of this resolution. Stephen Harper's government voted against it, and Trudeau's government continues to vote against it.

So, Trudeau is continuing where Harper left off. Liberal Tory same old story.

Hello! Housing is unaffordable in Ontario, but the NDP are putting forward ways to change this. One is Bill 58. This is a bill to put more teeth into stopping the common practice of "renovictions", where landlords kick out tenants, renovate the place, and then rent it later at a much higher price.

Here is a petition in support of this bill. Please sign today! https://www.petertabuns.ca/support_bill_58

A total of 47 municipal jurisdictions across British Columbia are being targeted by the governing BC NDP for inclusion in the Housing Supply Act.
