Thanks, Jagmeet.
Ndp is so underrated. If they had power we'd see way more progress towards things Canadians can actually benefit from
Unfortunately Jagmeet overplayed his hand in a blunt fashion and lost his power.
The NDP seems to do very well puppeteering a minority red gov. The blues will never deal and NDP needs the flatlanders to take federal power.
Yup, you are absolutely right. They figure out a way, but that comes at a cost
Jagmeet's the only leader who fulfilled some of his election promises.
But Trudeau legalized weed! That was the only promise he fulfilled. I wish he did the whole election reform stuff but we can get high after we vote!
He also started us on the $10 a day daycare. It's not universal yet but that's still huge for tens of thousands of families.
Except that there aren't enough subsidized placements so lots of parents can't use the system.
Like I said, it's not universal yet but it's still been huge for tens of thousands of parents.
Edit: Sorry, that was brusque. I just think starting a transformative national daycare program that looks solid however nascent, is pretty impressive. Between a pandemic, record inflation, land war in europe AND starting a transformative new dental health program, I personally am okay with solid beginnings for now. In ten years, if these programs hold and expand properly, I might find myself impressed with Trudeau's legacy.
Indeed, cannabis legalization is amongst the best things a government has ever done for its citizens.
In the 1979 election, Joe Clark promised to make mortgage payments tax deductable (or a tax credit type of thing.)
Sadly, his government only lasted about 8 months...
