I bounced onto his housing policy. It can be summed up as
It proceeds to do the neoliberal "let's hope the private sector saves us" crap.
Nothing about the feds building housing.
Nothing about fixing our tax code so houses aren't investments.
It doesn't even talk about bringing in more construction workers.
Just rEmOvInG rEd TaPe.
Yeah. I don't know why everyone is fawning over Mark Carney. He is small 'c' conservative. There's nothing he plans to do that's actually going to alleviate the burden on the middle class.
That's why I'm voting NDP next election. I don't care that Jagmeet Singh is not popular. Their party's plaform is exactly what we need right now. But nobody wants to acknowledge them as a real alternative to conservatives. No one is giving them any media attention also. So it's hard for them to deliver their message.
Singh has so little charisma the media just passes right over him. He says all the right words but has no genuine feeling behind it. I'm afraid I'll have to vote for less evil again which fucking sucks.
So we're going to ignore a whole party and it's values and objectives because the leader has no charisma?
I don't really care about charisma as long as they get the job done.
I understand, but most people vote by how they perceive a person. Basically elections are a popularity contest, which is unfortunate.
The thing is, they don't get the job done. And one of their jobs is to win over the hearts and minds of the electorate, and they can't even make small inroads on that when people are frustrated and ready for change.
The party has presented no clear vision for voters to latch on to, and I say this as someone who volunteers for them.
They got the dental care added to the social medical insurance coverage as a third party. That's a pretty good accomplishment.
Again, I feel like the media doesn't give them enough coverage, and when they do, it's never really in their favor.
In any case. I agree with you that he lacks something. He's too "normal" I guess? Not loud enough? Not aggressive enough? People expect some kind of super star. But I believe in the party's platform and I sincerely believe it's the right path to take.
If you take the time to look at their platform, you'll see they want to strengthen the middle class and improve our quality of life. Bring back the spirit of solidarity between middle class Canadians and give everybody a chance to have a better life and a better future. Unlike neo-liberals and conservatives who only care about counting beans and hoarding profits for their corporate friends at the cost of our social services, food security, environment, etc. I'm sick of it. And I know you are too.
The only way to turn things around in our favor is by voting NDP in my opinion.
Lucky for me they tend to be my reps. In my riding(s) not voting NDP means voting for a candidate that cannot win
Mine is a toss up between liberal, NDP and bloc quΓ©bΓ©cois
