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.

To keep things organized I'm going to put each platform section as it's own top level comment for people to discuss underneath. This is copy & paste from the website linked but I'm highlighting all the measurable promises. Feel free to comment anything I've missed.

Rent control and other tenant protection measures

We will fight soaring rents by requiring strong tenant protection measures from other levels of government as a condition for accessing federal housing funding. These measures

include rent control, as well as prohibitions on practices such as renovictions, demovictions and other predatory landlord practices aimed at pushing people out of their homes and driving up rents.

To support this goal we will set aside 100% of suitable federal crown land to build over 100,000 rent-controlled homes by 2035, as well redesigning and expanding the Public Land Acquisition Fund to acquire even more public land to build on. And we will publicly finance new construction – with a new Community Housing Bank to partner with non-profit developers, co-ops, and Indigenous communities
