the increases they're asking for probably don't make up for the high inflation in the recent past. Particularly if inflation, as measured for consumers at that income level, doesn't stay at 2% or less for the next 4 years.

now do US and Chinese oil companies...
this poll was way off... 10% high for NDP.. 6% low for SP...
Good to keep in mind whenever you see polls. They're garbage.
The NSA has many kinks. Watching people watch porn, precious bodily fluids/anti-flouride porn, that kind of thing. Good for them.
the NSA or other intelligence org invented it and provides ongoing funding to collect an enormous library of SHA256 hashes to aid in reducing the decryption space of SHA256 so they can watch people watching porn.
China, India have tiny attempts and smaller successes at influence compared to the thousands of corporate lobbyists that meet with Canadian politicians every year.
What about the influence of the construction industry? Property developers outright own provincial and municipal politics in Ontario. Big tech?
Oil?!?
How about all the huge military and consulting companies that place 50% of the labour in govt workplaces and suck a 25% margin off each one?
Most of those aren't domestically owned either.
enjoy the recessions that come with balanced budgets and surpluses... everyone will be sending in extra taxes to balance that budget.
The Canadian govt is the primary creator of Canadian dollars.
When the federal govt runs a deficit of say $1B, that's a surplus of $1B in the private sector. $1B more spent into industry than collected in taxes. Good times for the private sector.
When the federal govt runs a surplus of $1B, that is a deficit of $1B in the private sector. $1B more collected in taxes than spent. This is an absolute disaster for the economy.
When you consider the above, you can see how ridiculous it is for the federal govt to run a balanced budget or surplus. A balanced budget is a strongly recessionary position, choking off economic growth in the private sector.

the NDP isn't putting any sort of socialist reform on the table. They aren't talking about redistribution and optimising the economy for continuing prosperity with redistribution and environmental sustainability. They don't organize well and treat volunteers poorly. They let Trudeau scoop their long held positions on social justice while Mulcair wanted to talk about balanced budgets. Singh has done little to reform the party. Otherwise..great job on squeezing a few concessions out of the LPC. Even if they stick, they'll be under permanent attack until they're in as bad shape as the rest of Canada's antiquated social programs.
