Consider this: Singh and the new democrats can save Canada from going down the same slippery slope as the United States. Singh and his party are already keeping Poilievre and his conservative puppets from trampling on Canada’s democracy. The liberal and NDP accord is staving off an election that could see Poilievre win with his lies. He would be far less likely to win if Canada’s progressives joined forces.
It is the same as when Stephen Harper led the charge to unite the right. It led to nine years of cruel, austere conservative government, because the right was united and the progressives were fighting each other.
And why should there be fighting among the progressives? We have the same objectives. We want the same good government that serves the needs of the people.
It is the conservatives who are always trying to inflict their ideology on us. Think about it. Do you want our government to protect the privileges of millionaires? And make the rest of us pay for it?
And what are they going to do about global warming, when every barrel of oil from the tar sands contributes to wildfires, tornadoes, floods, droughts and more climate change?
Canada needs progressives in government who will ensure that nobody needs sleep on our winter streets. The country needs progressives who can build a high-speed electric train system across Canada. We need a government that will give us the opportunity to change how our county works, how we are governed and how our democracy functions. We are certainly not a monarchy and we need to change that silly fiction from long ago.
Conservatives are not all as selfish and uncaring as their leaders try to tell us. The opportunity to have a truly progressive government will attract many away from the conservatives. Liberal democrats have proved that in Europe. They are only challenged by the right-wing parties when they do not do their job properly.
If you are an NDP supporter, please ask Jagmeet Singh to help build our coalition.
