The Liberals housing plan:

1. Cut pharmacare
2. No windfall tax on oil & gas
3. No non-market housing targets
4. $1B+ bailout for condo developers who "can't sell at a loss"

Developer losses get socialism.
Everyone else gets capitalism.

This is not a housing policy.
It's a wealth protection policy.

Right in the middle of the match, I get a phone call from the #NDP, of which I am a member. (They might be a pale imitation of a worker's party, but they're the closest we've got.) She wanted my thoughts on some of what they're doing. I said at the moment I'm more interested in the #WorldCup. Turns out she's from #Mexico, got all excited, and we had a lovely wee chat. I love football. :-) #fedifc
Let's be honest Canadians. The #NDP no longer stands for anything different from the Liberals.

Living in France for a couple of years you slowly realise that every French politician carries one image in the back of their mind: La guillotine. Knowing that your actions might have a real personal consequence does tend to temper some of the untrammelled pro-Capitalist goals of Western political

@avilewis You need to talk to your neoliberal BC NDP folks. Katrina Conroy pulled exact same economic BS card - to defend her approvals to spray glysophate over massive areas in BC. You have plenty of capitalist ecocidal maniacs, within your own party. BC NDP behave like Conservatives.

The other day I had an idea that could reduce a lot of waste and save people money. Retailers/Manufacturers of consumable products like hand soaps/household cleaners should be required to sell/produce larger size refills for smaller size bottles. I would like to compile a list of smaller ideas like this to send to Avi and my local NDP candidate. Anyone got ideas?
