Thanks, Jagmeet.
Ndp is so underrated. If they had power we’d see way more progress towards things Canadians can actually benefit from
Unfortunately Jagmeet overplayed his hand in a blunt fashion and lost his power.
The NDP seems to do very well puppeteering a minority red gov. The blues will never deal and NDP needs the flatlanders to take federal power.
Yup, you are absolutely right. They figure out a way, but that comes at a cost
Jagmeet’s the only leader who fulfilled some of his election promises.
But Trudeau legalized weed! That was the only promise he fulfilled. I wish he did the whole election reform stuff but we can get high after we vote!
He also started us on the $10 a day daycare. It’s not universal yet but that’s still huge for tens of thousands of families.
Indeed, cannabis legalization is amongst the best things a government has ever done for its citizens.
In the 1979 election, Joe Clark promised to make mortgage payments tax deductable (or a tax credit type of thing.)
Sadly, his government only lasted about 8 months…
This really should have been provincially funded healthcare, if any of our premiers decided to operate in their own jurisdictions.
They have jurisdiction to cut costs, but implementing anything is the federal government’s job apparently.
cough Ontario’s NDP 2018 cough cough
One of the things I remember most from my childhood is my father screaming in pain due to tooth decay he couldn’t get treatment for because of how expensive a trip to the dentist was. Man would try using whiskey as an antiseptic which did fuck all and ended up costing us more for his alcohol as a family when that became his drink of choice afterwards over beer.
The NDP is in dire need of new leadership. I genuinely think Jagmeet is a great guy, but he really should be making a publicity campaign of the NDP’s accomplishments here, and him not doing so to the degree he should be is just the latest in a line of leadership decisions he’s made that have disappointed me. I want to vote NDP in the upcoming election, but even putting aside the movement to back the Liberals to keep Polievre out of office, I’ll be voting Liberal unless they have a change in leadership and leadership strategy.
Gonna go so far as to say the same with the Greens while I’m at it cause the entire kerfuffle they’ve had with Annamie Paul basically fracturing the party, and seeing Elizabeth May as their leader again isn’t doing any favours considering how hard she and other party leadership pushed for Paul over Dimitri Lascaris, who I feel would have been a much better party leader.
I still think this was a mistake, dental industry needs better regulation before we subsidize all the private practice with this dental plan. It can and should be much cheaper.
I do not think it is a mistake, this needs to happen however I do agree there need to be better regulations. 100% needs to mean 100%, I recently discovered I could apply for coverage. I got the documentation I called up the dentist when I got my card and booked an appointment, I was informed that even though I am 100% covered it does not mean I am 100% covered. I have been putting off major dental things for about 6 years now so I decided I would go in and get the ball rolling. Once the bill is paid in a week or two, I will be starting a human rights complaint. Although Saskatchewan’s Human Rights Commission is a joke right now maybe I can get something done.
Leave it to the little people to push the buttons.
Forgive me for asking, but I’m not sure how this could be framed as subsidizing private practices?
In my mind, despite flaws with the program, relieving the cost of treatment for patients is worth it.
I was hoping to get lazer teeth. Would this pay for it, or, knowing it’s a Liberal plan, would I have to move to the lowest income bracket first?
