Did anyone expect anything different? He's a child of the 70s and 80s who became a banker and high ranking technocrat. Neoliberalism is his jam.

I like the NDP and Greens, but I can't vote for them unless their parties merge. They get very little votes here.

If after they merge, pick up a bunch of votes, implement stratgic voting, they could decide to split again afterwards if they wish.

In my experience the NDP is willing to burn ecological resources for trivial short term gains. They are a worker party, which is fine, but they often treat 'jobs' as a goal in itself, rather than a route to quality of people's lives.

You can make lots of jobs logging old growth and building out fossil fuel infrastructure.

Edit: don't get me wrong, I'll still vote for them over other options, but my heart and wallet are with the Greens.

I don't get that sense of NDP from Avi Lewis at all.

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Avi Lewis is good people, but institutionally i don't see the NDP prioroizing economic and environmental sustainability. If it comes down to closing mills or saving scraps of old growth forest, or bulking up our renewables, I'm not yet convinced he'd make what i consider the right call. Unpopular sacrifices will need to happen to forestall dosaster.

Yeah, I really don't want Green and NDP to merge. NDP seem to hate the environment. I'd have nobody left to vote for.
