A damn good one, I would say. It attacks the nationalist corporate power structure that dominates the country. It is sound economic policy because it actually creates a more competitive marketplace. It builds community power and local economic networks.

Basically it presents the ruling Canadian class with a strategic dilemma:

  • either they lower prices and start competing: this demonstrates the power of economic populism and empowers the Left to attack more
  • or they don't and the public option becomes entrenched in communities: this demonstrates the power of bottom up Left politics

Damn good policy.
