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.

Cleaner, More Affordable Transportation
We will work with provinces and municipalities with a goal of doubling public transit ridership by 2035, including expanding the Canada Public Transit Fund to include operations funding. We will work with rural communities to re-establish bus routes abandoned by Greyhound, and we will create public, high-speed rail across Canada starting with the Quebec-Windsor corridor and Edmonton-Calgary-Banff.
To help families afford the up-front cost of buying an electric vehicle, we will extend federal rebates for new EVs up to $5,000. And to support local jobs, rebates for made-in-Canada EVs will be doubled to $10,000. And EVs made in China or by companies like Tesla that undermine Canada’s national interest and economic security will be excluded. This will support Canada’s electric vehicles sales mandate to achieve 100% zero-emission vehicle sales by 2035.
