@avilewis nit picky here but I don't want the NDP to be a "big tent party". I want it to be a social democratic party. That might bring me back into the fold.

@felix @avilewis I agree that putting a number to it is a good idea otherwise just proposing a wealth tax will inevitably be used to fear monger amoung the working class that 'Avi's going to steal your hard earned savings!'For reference Statistics Canada table 36-10-0660-01 shows that the Highest wealth quintile had an average net worth of $12,047,197 in Q3 of 2025https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=3610066001&pickMembers%5B0%5D=1.1&pickMembers%5B1%5D=2.1&pickMembers%5B2%5D=3.57&cubeTimeFrame.startMonth=07&cubeTimeFrame.startYear=2025&cubeTimeFrame.endMonth=07&cubeTimeFrame.endYear=2025&referencePeriods=20250701%2C20250701

@avilewis I just received a bill for $28,000 for two months of care for my parents and the care has not been great since both have been hospitalized during that time from infections. I don’t know how many of us can afford to pay. If we didn’t pay, they would be at the mercy of the government who gets to decide where they would go. They were initially suggesting places that were hours away and where they have no family or friends. I felt lucky to find them this place.But, yeah. That’s the #. Start saving now.

@avilewis We need a two way arms embargo on the USA as well.

@avilewis Doneeee!

@triddles so the party's weakness is in vetting leaders? Don't members vote on them?
