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.

Building infrastructure
Investing in infrastructure in the short-term will help keep people working and help minimize the economic downturn. This countercyclical boost will have a significant multiplier effect due to the slack in our economy being created by the trade war. Investments in housing, in clean infrastructure, in renewable energy and in arctic infrastructure will also help ready our economy for a strong recovery.
These investments are aimed at supporting our longer-term project of reducing Canada’s economic exposure to the United States. Additionally, further measures will be taken to improve inter-provincial trade and mobility – including but not limited to health professionals – and to expand trade opportunities with non-US countries.
As part of our Build Canada Plan, we will increase the federal government’s capital investment budget by $10 billion per year—investing in Canada’s productive assets, including ports, rail, highways, and Arctic infrastructure.
