I like some of what he's saying, hopefully he can reclaim some of the vote for the ndp if elected. I'm not sure who the other contenders are though, and itll most likely end up as a demographic politics type party again just pandering to different niche minority group interests.

I'm not totally sure what the postal banking system he references is, specifically. I've never lived in a remote area, which it seems is where it was more commonly used. But like, 99% of what you need to do with a FI you can do online these days, hell many options are online only with no physical retail locations. I get a feeling that postal banking is basically just an old person "I dont wanna use that internet thing!" type of issue, in which case I wouldn't support it. The oldest generations who are most opposed to updating their skills are also the ones that pulled up ladders/profited from the younger generations current gong show -- they've had enough charity from the public purse.

Besides, feds always seem to forget that many small communities have credit unions, or that credit unions are already there as an alternative to the big banks for most financial service needs. If this guys really about smaller communities/local financial options, he should be bolstering the CUs as an alternative to the banks (though cus are under prov jurisdiction).
