The NDP stands zero chance of winning. The best they can do is official opposition, and even that is asking for a miracle. Frankly speaking, they should be asking themselves what's the best realistic position the party can manage this election, and that's to whittle away votes from the Cons.

As long as the Conservatives have a strong voter base, the only thing the NDP can do is canabolize liberal votes, which is a lose-lose proposition when the liberals don't even have a majority. Even in the best case of this scenario, they're just splitting the votes and handing the Conservatives the win.

Instead of trying to nab a small number of easy votes, go they need to go for the harder but far bigger votes. Convince Canadians that voting for the Cons goes directly against their own interests.

A sign of a good leader is to know when to step off the stage. Singh continues to show us that he is not that.

That would be a good idea.

A Charlie Angus/Mark Carney coalition government would go so hard.

Carney brings strong economic policy, and Angus brings deep knowledge of Ontario/Canadian resource communities would be epic.

I agree with your opinion about politicians attacking the other parties.

But I don't se how Carney's ideas are fresh. He wants to cut funding to government programs and services, cut taxes and invest.

You know that that sounds like? Less tax income for the government to spend. A decrease in social services like health and education, and subsidies to private interests.

Here's what he wants to invest in:

• millions of new homes to address the housing crisis,
• a major expansion in both conventional and clean energy systems to reduce our dependence on the United States and drive competitiveness in Canadian manufacturing,
• port, rail and infrastructure for the new trade corridors with major new trade partners, and
• defence equipment and dual-use defence infrastructure that is made in Canada to make our country more secure and prosperous.

All of which should be nationalized in my opinion. Social housing for the most vulnerable who can't afford any home or even rent almost anywhere and are either living in poverty or camping in tents.

Energy should be nationalized again like it used to be before Mulroney. Like Québec did with Hydro Québec.

Same with rail and port infrastructure. (I think CN is a crown corporation, but not sure about ports...)

Defence equipment is the only exception.

But why cut taxes??? We need to tax Canada's billionaires. There's plenty of them. We need to tax the richest people in this country who have gotten richer over the past 10 years to a ridiculous point. They're the same people that made the middle class poorer with their manufactured inflation.

He’s actually closer to the Liberal traditions before Trudeau

I find his budget changes intriguing though.

FINE by me!!

A working minority government IS democracy.

A majority government is no different than the US electing A dictator.

Dictators are ‘decisive’, yes. But a minority MUST find a consensus between at least 2/3 of the parties to move forward.

Hmmm…. Now, which one sounds like democracy?

I ask you.
