MODERATORS
I'd say the public groceries idea is a good one.
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.
Yup, do telecoms too
I might be more moderate like Heather McPherson. Where I agree with her the most is the idea that the left tend to push solidarity to the wayside when little ideological quibbles come up. But either way I'm looking for NDP to return to local organization and messaging rather than a top down approach. Any new leader would be okay.
Honestly McPherson is probably the one I like least, but they all seem pretty decent. I agree the idea of left solidarity is important and am well aware of the damage that infighting has done to our causes, but I really don't think that another moderate is what Canada needs right now. The Cons are running further right, the Liberals are chasing them. We can't afford to abandon leftists in this country like America abandoned theirs.
