    Hey, NDP.

    I’m not sure how you’re doing, hope all is well with you. I heard you were working on pharmacare or somesuch. That’s cool, that’s cool

    You know, I was thinking, we need a bit more than that, you know? We have healthcare issues, environment issues, housing issues, cost-of-living issues. And it sounds like we would really benefit from some bold transformational political vision, here, you know? Someone to say we are going to do A,B,C,D to fix these things, you know, like in the old days, when Tommy Douglas was putting up concrete visions for government creating crown corporations to tackle specific problems?

    And I think you might be the right party to bring stuff up? Maybe get the provincial NDPs to all to talk to each other, and coordinate with the national party a coherent strategy or something?

    Something to inspire us?

    I dunno, you’re the pro, maybe I’m overstepping. Maybe pharmacare is as much as we can really do at this point.

    Anyway, just checking in.

    All the best,

    Some guy.

        After all, political parties are labour unions. Like all labour unions, they exist to serve the workers, not the employers (you and I).

        If the best potential hire in the talent pool belongs to a union, so be it. That’s the cost of doing business.

        But to those who choose the employee to hire based on their union membership, why?
