Canada needs a new political party... What is its platform? (lemmy.ca)

I think a majority of Canadians are kind, hardworking, and want what's best for their families, friends, neighbours, and the country.

What does a brand new political party platform look like to appeal to an overwhelming majority of Canadians?

Centre Ice Canadians are building the "Our Canadian Future Party" (real name TBD pending elections Canada approval) -- target audience is centrist, with largely reasonable statements so far. In particular, they're heavily pro nuclear, which is a huge selling point for me...

But it's a group of old Conservatives, how can it be centrist?

Heh... I like the idea of a 'blue line' 'centre ice' party... Every Canuck should know what it means, and it's a nod to our Hockey heritage, but I can totally see it getting mixed up with the nazi police 'thin blue line' bullshit.

β€œIcing” has two very different meanings there.

But I’d definitely support a political penalty box.
