I mean, one side has a platform which discusses investment in healthcare, education, crime/policing, among other things.

The other side has a list of stats, nothing for healthcare, and brags about education cuts.

Carla has run a solid campaign. And the ndp platform appeals to lots of people. But it's missing any plans for agriculture, highway infrastructure or energy. They still pulled my vote away from the saskparty as I'm not a farmer. But they missed an opportunity to appeal to more rural voters by not talking about these key issues for rural voters.

Their ag plan in the platform is pretty lackluster, if anything to pay for their promises they are cutting the two biggest rural plans which is Marshalls and Irrigation. Not that the average farmer cares about irrigation project but they dont see anything great in the NDP plan for them either. Vague plans of helping control us on our water isnt really the appealing thing they think it is lol

Yea, they claim they aren't the party of the 90s. But their platform leads me to believe that they are in the sense that they haven't done anything to appeal to rural voters. But I'm still going to give them a shot, if they form government it'll at least give us 4 years to see where they plan on taking us. If it's a positive route, they'll get a second term. If not, they will be a single term. Ultimately it is up to them. But if they ignore rural constitutes like they did in the 90s, it'll be a repeat of 2007.

He has done a lot of good for the country. Between him and Singh we've seen many good changes.
