If you mean that by saying that he is not really willing to question the status quo then I agree with you. We need to bring housing prices down, worker wages up, and billionaires to pay their fair share of taxes. I believe that we need to pursue a greater social safety net and in order to do this we need higher tax rates on the rich. We also need to motivate workers to unionize and to hold the government accountable for breaking up strikes. If you want a government that will institute radical change for the better vote NDP. Unfortunately housing prices are an issue to be solved by provincial governments. Talk to your provincial party about those problems.
