    Seriously. I can’t understand why an NDP federal government is such a long shot in this supposedly left leaning country. They are the only ones even talking about corporate greed and proposing actionable steps to address it.

    We could and should be the Sweden of North America, but we’re letting our meth head neighbor to the south drag us down into the musty basement.

      Having been in Sweden this week, I can only agree with the goal of adopting so many of their habits. But let’s pick and choose if we can, as it’s only 96% perfect.

      I want to see the NDP as at least the official opposition.

      It’ll only happen if the Liberal party collapses, though. They’re seen as the moderate choice.

        My ideal Canadian federal government is a strong NDP minority, a Liberal opposition, and a small handful of impotent PC seats.

        The NDP will come up with good legislation, the Liberals will mostly temper it a bit (but not too much, otherwise, they’ll look too right leaning), and the PC’s exist only for entertainment purposes.
