Problem is it’s not the left’s fault. The world is blaming the leaders but it’s happening globally. The real problem is a few have all the wealth.

Capitalism, infinite greed and growth and the resulting wealth inequality. Unaffordablity is the inevitable conclusion of late stage capitalism

This right here. This principle is baked into its very core. We know exactly what to do to counter that. It’s not rocket science: We need to do away with tricklenomics, and speculative economy and start taxing the ultrarich, and imposing limits to their reach.

Our left leaning leaders should update tax laws to address the growing wealth gap. And start building homes so average Canadians can afford a decent home in a decent location.

Agree completely. Carney is a neoliberal and will not address this problem - I fear the next election people will be unhappy that their life still sucks due to late stage capitalism and vote in Cons out of some desire for change, and they will destroy our institutions like the Americans.

NDP need to step up with a real candidate that will challenge these systems of wealth extraction.

Sadly I think this could be the beginning of the end for the NDP. They struggled to fill Jack Laytons shoes and though Jagmeet was a less well received leader, I feel they will struggle to fill his shoes too. The Americanization of Canada has already begun.
