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.

Cutting taxes and putting more money into people’s pockets

We will raise the basic personal amount to $19,500 to allow workers to earn more before starting to pay taxes. This would put $505 back in the pockets of those earning between $19,500 and $177,882. We will also lower the high-income BPA to best target these changes to lower-income earners.

We will also boost income support for those who are most vulnerable. We will double the Canada Disability Benefit, providing individuals up to an additional $2400 a year. And we will take a tangible step towards a guaranteed livable income by raising the Guaranteed Income Supplement to lift all seniors out of poverty.
