I’ve saved and reorganized my finances to purchase a new house. I just need my mortgage approved. My rental/home office is too small & doesn’t suit my needs.
Then my rental burns down. But I haven’t yet received my mortgage approval.
What do I do?
Go ahead and buy the house?

Or look after my immediate need for income, shelter, food & clothing for myself & my family?
NDP says buy the house.
Those with practical skills, logic and rational reasoning look after immediate needs and put house purchase off for another day.
I will buy a new house.

But I’m not going to leave my children and spouse to live in the neighbourhood park until I get secure my income and have my mortgage approved based on that income.
But NDP continues to use faulty logic by lamenting pharmacare, in the middle of a once in a century pandemic.

How people can rationally support NDP, I don’t know.
Millions of people’s incomes disappeared overnight. Ensuring the crisis was managed was the priority. That costs money. Which does not grow on trees. Even if we can print it, we must balance the spending with inflation.

Canada could just print money for everyone in perpetuity. Why bother to work, produce, trade or invest? We could just print as much as is needed.
Because then money loses its value, and you end up like Venezuela where a carton of milk for your kids costs $10K.

Healthcare and medicine become unattainable, because your currency no longer has value.
We can borrow extra money, but we need to use it to ensure the economy is preserved. Because if people don’t have jobs, there are no taxes to collect.

Tax revenues and public expenses need a certain amount of balance. It is unsustainable to spend money that doesn’t exist and has no hope of ever existing.
The immediate crisis comes first, then address the needs beyond survival.
Has no one on the far left read about Maslow?

NDP might argue that affordable medication is a need.
It is. But having an economy to generate enough taxes for revenue is a higher priority. That may sting those who are seeking immediate relief. But again, money doesn’t grow on trees. And we can only print or borrow so much.

That means pharmacare needs to wait.
How long? Well, the ability to get the economy back on track isn’t a certainty. We are dependent upon the US and their purchasing power for trade. We’ve spread out that risk by signing new trade agreements, but the success of US will help.

We also are not in control of the politics or economy of the US. So your guess is as good as mine since the nation seems to sit precariously on the verge of falling into open fascism.
But the government can influence our own economy.

Which is why child care was chosen as the next big ticket item. While it’s sold as a nod to feminism, it’s the most practical response. Giving half the population the ability to join the labour force without worrying about child care is a direct benefit to our economic capacity.
Quebec has already demonstrated that is fact not theory in spades.
The government has developed many new programs to address urgent needs. Think of it as the hotel costs, food and clothing and a new lap top for work capacity while I get back on my feet after my rental burns.

Moving to a new house is the goal, not moving back into a rental. So my accommodation is temporary. My environment is in chaos because I lost everything but the people I care about.
When my situation is more stable, then and only then do I continue on my intended path.

Not before.
It’s like NDP has never had a crisis before. Immediate needs for short & long term survival come before wish list items.
Or maybe it’s just demagogic populist rhetoric meant to smear a government dealt several huge crises one after another for the past 18 months.

Iran plane crash, national protest blockading trade (Wetʼsuwetʼen), and then covid.
But no excuses.
It’s amazes me how little critical thinking goes into these accusations. It’s just pure emotional triggering meant to enrage and frustrate people in distress.

But that’s not a very respectful way to treat people who are suffering.
However it is opportunist, disingenuous and populist.
The new NDP in a nutshell; Charlatans with a political power agenda.
