    Of course but it’s not been what they’ve pushed for via the supply and confidence deal. Perhaps now is the time.

      I don’t think it is the time, most people care more about affordability which the NDP have answered with dental and pharma care

      And I’m not sure the Liberals will go for it given what they did before

        Those are things that are already on the way. The article suggests the NDP is going to push for more on account of the Liberals weak polling. And when the Liberals did what they did in 2015 they were polling well against a decrepit Conservative government that was ready to fall. The opposite of now.

        If dental care is their only answer to affordability we’re in trouble.

          That isn’t their only answer, remember that they were the only party that was pressing grocery store CEOs

          The problem is that they are in 4th for seat allocation. So anything they want done has to go through the Cons or Libs

            I would agree that saying something is better than saying nothing, but I measure their success by action, not rhetoric. Our cost of living crisis has been raging for years now, and I haven’t even seen a serious proposal to deal with any of it, let alone actual policy changes.

              Would having to increase federal funding for housing the more immigrants they let in be a good proposal? Because they have that

              What about their windfall profit tax?
