I suggest you get familiar with concept of the Overtone window and how it has been shifting to the right for the past, pffft dix decades?
If the Overton window only moved right, how did we get $10-a-day daycare, legal weed, and record climate spending?
It's moved a further right since the NDP/LPC supply and confidence agreement. The carbon tax became politically toxic. There's no serious discussion of climate action - Alberta and Trump have seen to that. We aren't talking about any kind of wealth redistribution or tax increases on the wealthy (remember the capital gains reform?). There's no discussion of serious spending to directly alleviate the housing or healthcare crisis.
Taxed to work, taxed to live, and nothing really changes. We fund the system just to run in circles, classic hamster wheel economics.
