For those that seek a future that brings together the best of the insights and objectives of people who, within the social democratic and democratic socialist traditions, have worked through farmer, labour, co-operative, feminist, human rights and environmental movements, and with First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples, to build a more just, equal, and sustainable Canada within a global community dedicated to the same goals.

This community is not managed by NDP staff.

We are all at the tipping point. The people need to own their stuff. This whole private industry shareholders dance just makes things worse for most, but not for the private owners.

Nothing like this will happen until we do something about regulatory capture in Canada, specifically in the CRTC which has notoriously been directly governed by Robelus for longer than most people here have been alive. Canada always has telecom rates among the highest in the world. The corporate cartels in Canada are more powerful than our governments, and we cannot have meaningful public services until this is addressed. WE DON'T EVEN HAVE HEALTHCARE ANYMORE.

If Canada, in general, would stop selling off its own so-called 'essential-service' providers that would be great. Railways, Petro Canada, Canada Post is on its way out, various formerly own regional telecoms, the merger of Shaw and Rogers, the Nortel steal...etc.

We can't even properly tax digital services lol. Rebuilding is a great idea but you first gotta fix the political system behind it. Otherwise we're just in a cycle of whoever gets in next undoing whatever was just done.

Investing in [research and development, people, infrastructure] takes money from shareholders.
