I think our three major parties are all neoliberal. They all want to do the same things, they just argue against how much to spend and who to give the money to.
There's exceptions of course. Notably guns and marginalized people.
I'd prefer not to have a neoliberal government, but until then I'm voting for more freedom for everyone. (NDP or Green)

There are good labour movement people in the NDP. For example I think it's tragic that Charlie Angus lost to Singh for party leadership. But currently the NDP leadership pushes more on "neoliberal with some leftist lip-service" than actual labour ideals.

I liked Guy Caron. A socialist and an economist.

Can we elect the entire staff of The Beaverton? They might actually do a good job.
