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.

Working with allies
New Democrats would take additional steps to expand and deepen trade relations with countries other than the US. We have spent too long deepening our economic ties with the US, we can’t let ourselves become so economically dependent on a single trading partner ever again.
With global peace and security under attack throughout the world, we would pursue a strong and principled foreign policy based on solidarity, human rights, and multilateralism. That includes boosting international aid funding to 0.7 per cent of our Gross National Income, ensuring Canada’s sanctions are applied consistently to all major human rights violators, and supporting international justice institutions like the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice.
We will cancel Canada’s F-35 contract to ensure our needs are met by a proposal that supports Canadian assembly jobs as well as using our knowledge and capacity to maintain them. We will meet Canada’s commitment of increasing defence spending to two per cent of Canada’s Gross Domestic Product by no later than 2032, with an emphasis on making investments that support Canadians, communities, those who are serving in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and Veterans. That will also include new investments in arctic sovereignty and in facilities which benefit Northerns and their communities.
We would join the increasing number of countries that recognize the State of Palestine. This is a concrete step towards peace and justice for Palestinians and Israelis, consistent with Canada’s traditional support for a two-state solution. We will impose sanctions on key figures in the Netanyahu regime who have incited violence, genocide, and annexation. And we will immediately impose a two-way arms embargo on Israel, and close loopholes that allow military and goods and technology to be exported to countries that abuse human rights.
And we would continue to support Ukraine and Ukrainians in their fight against Putin’s horrific invasion and genocide. This includes putting in place stronger sanctions to hold Putin’s oligarch friends accountable for their complicity in this war.
