For those that seek a future that brings together the best of the insights and objectives of people who, within the social democratic and democratic socialist traditions, have worked through farmer, labour, co-operative, feminist, human rights and environmental movements, and with First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples, to build a more just, equal, and sustainable Canada within a global community dedicated to the same goals.
This community is not managed by NDP staff.

Protect you from having to pay for care
While Canadians want real improvements in public health care, Pierre Poilievre has met privately with U.S. hospital CEOs and backs expanding for-profit care—opening the door to two-tier, American-style health care. And the Liberals have looked the other way as provinces like Alberta and Ontario have expanded private care and made wait times worse.
New Democrats would put a stop to U.S.-style privatization and protect public health care from Donald Trump’s trade agenda. That includes banning American corporations from buying Canadian health facilities, blocking any trade deals from putting health care on the trading table, and strengthening the Canada Health Act to stop cash-for-care clinics from charging you for basic care. Canadians need to be able to access the care they need, when and where they need it - whether that be through a phone call, a virtual consultation, or an in-person visit with their primary care provider – all without having to pay for that care.
