No mention of the NDP. If only that was the "something different" people were willing to try.

That's exactly what I'm calling tinkering at the edges.

We need plans for housing, for transit, for healthcare, for research and innovation, for the green transition, for climate adaptation, etc etc. The Conservatives are a disaster on all those fronts and the Liberals' plan is to have no plan and let things sort themselves out. The NDP? Where are the big ideas, the bold plans, the radical breaks with the unsustainable status quo? Pharmacare isn't it...

There was a few years ago something called the Leap Manifesto, which was in scope similar to the left US Democrats' "green new deal". A bold vision for the big changes we need to make. Not nitpicky details about this or that side issue that we are going to convince the big kids to kindly provide, but a Big Story why people should vote us in government. That's what I'm talking about.
