@Babcia54 I hate to be critical of the NDP given the alternative (Conservative Party nationally/provincially), but they have to be held to a high standard, imo. Too bad the Greens are so unappreciated, too. I struggled for some time to identify my political ideology, until I read Ed Broadbent's inaugural address to the Canada House of Commons (screenshot): social democracy! 🙏

What is social democracy? | Perspectives Journal
Social democracy can be understood as both a social and political movement, and as a set of animating political principles and ideas. Both have historical antecedents in struggles for democracy, social and economic justice, greater equality and human rights for the poor and oppressed dating back at least to classical times. Social democracy is perhaps best understood as a reaction and proposed alternative to the liberal capitalist order that had become ascendant in the major industrialized countries of Europe and North America by the mid- to late-nineteenth century.

Jim Patterson 🇨🇦@Harryslaststand I was privileged to get an invitation to the #EdBroadbent #CelebrationOfLife today. I spotted #HarryLeslieSmith on the tribute video they put together. Shouldn't have been surprised to see them together I guess - he did his "Stand Up for Progress" tour with the @broadbent a few years back.

salguod, man 🍂🍁 lazysupperState funeral for #EdBroadbent tomorrow. I just found out he died.
Politics & politicians sure have changed since his day.
He spoke at a U of C conference I attended. Us worldly undergrads had a fancy wine & cheese after, so I got to chat with him. The bartender asked "Red or white?"
"Beer," said Ed.
I said "Make it two."
He was a no BS kinda guy. We talked for a long while, especially after I name-dropped my prof, who I knew was an old friend of his. 🙃
