vyelkin posted:Now that's #realchange! I don't want to come off as unduly negative about this bill but I'm getting really tired of the NDP producing an endless stream of proposed bills which just call for a commisioner to be appointed and/or for some kind of extremely vague national target to be set. From the bill: quote:5 (1) The strategy is designed to reduce, and indeed eliminate, poverty and promote social inclusion through coherent and complementary measures, including: I mean. That all sounds nice but that sure is vague. It's not as though poverty is some kind of mysterious condition that requires intensive study to understand. It comes from a lack of money and resources, and we have plenty of 20th century examples of anti-poverty programs that worked quite well and could be expected to have a similar effect if introduced. I don't understand why the NDP keeps trying to pass bills which are so vague. I remember working with Olivia Chow on her "National Transit Strategy" a few years back and getting really loving tired of hearing her endlessly champion a bill which similarly just amounted to "We'll get the first ministers of every province together and they'll hash out a strategy for the federal government to implement." The NDP does sometimes propose more specific programs like national daycare or pharmacare, but we need more of that and we need it to be more central to the party's appeal. I'm not saying there's no value in appointing a commissioner to deal specifically with the problems of poverty but this bill is some thin gruel. Also I know Quebec is an important part of the NDP base at this point but Jesus Christ gently caress this poo poo: quote:12 The Government of Quebec may choose to opt out of the application of any program providing public funds to the provinces to take measures to eliminate poverty and is to receive a monetary contribution equivalent to the amount it would have received through the program. I hate that the NDP has thrown proper federalism under the bus because Quebec is hyper-sensitive about letting their terrible regressive provincial governments handle their programs. For once I'd like to see the NDP take a shot at just standing up and making a more consistent and concerted case for specific and universalistic anti-poverty programs, especially for expanding medicare to cover mental health, otpometry and dental. Enough of this wishy-washy bullshit. Calling for social housing and free or extremely cheap education would also be nice. The NDP doesn't need to wait until an election campaign to talk about these sorts of measures.

Maybe the NDP should introduce a bill to appoint a commissioner to figure out how to be a worthwhile party.

sitchensis posted:Well it's better than the Liberals who are at work "opening a dialogue on the subject of poverty reduction in Canada" by drafting the equivalent of a first year undergrad poli-sci paper. Agreed 100%. And to reiterate what I already said, appointing a commissioner to specifically highlight these problems would be a nice step forward. But that having been said the NDP is way too gunshy about just openly describing the kinds of poverty reduction programs it will fight for. Also I would encourage people to check out some of the MP's responses to the bill because they really are liberals.txt and conservatives.txt: Liberal: this is a great bill. So great that we couldn't possibly support it because we're already busy delivering the Real Change (tm) that Canadians want: quote:Pablo Rodriguez Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Infrastructure and Communities And the Conservative: Harper good, Tim Hortons, Jane and Joe taxpayer, low taxes, good conservative record Now let me tell you what the job creators (tm) think! quote:Bob Zimmer Prince George—Peace River—Northern Rockies, BC

I hate that analogy.
