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.

Building and buying Canadian

We would overhaul Canada’s procurement policies with a Build Canadian Buy Canadian plan, including banning American companies from contracts if Canadian workers can do them. And to support more Canadians choosing to buy Canadian, and to boost our auto sector, we will remove the GST from Canadian-made vehicles.

We would identify shovel-ready infrastructure projects – roads, bridges, transit, community projects and health care capital – and get building, with union workers using

Canadian products like steel to get it done. Boosting our investment in infrastructure now will help keep people working, stimulate our economy when it most needs a boost, and leave our communities better off. And we would offer Canada Victory Bonds as an opportunity for everyday Canadians to invest in the rebuilding of our economy.

We would start work on an East-West clean energy grid—a major country-building infrastructure project that could deliver affordable, clean and secure energy to people and businesses across the country. And we would work with provinces to eliminate inter-provincial trade barriers, including harmonizing environmental and health and safety standards to the highest level.
