I've got to hand it to the NDP - while I don't agree with their fiscal policies, their platform is actually very well laid out compared to the other parties, which may explain part of their current success. The Conservative and Liberal platforms are pretty vague on a lot of stuff. The Greens are actually the worst in my opinion - even on environment their platform is lacking in detail.

They propose to pay for their proposals through 3 main methods:
- Introduction of carbon cap and trade (which they have now backed off from as unfeasible in the near term due to constitutional problems)
- Increasing corporate tax rates (which just about every economist in the country has indicated will not increase tax revenues)
- Eliminating 'oil sands subsidies' (which are not subsidies at all just changes in accounting practises allowing longer amortization)
Even the CBC has shredded the NDP platform as poorly thought out. Basically the NDP platform is filled with promises for everyone with no explanation of how we will pay for them.
But we all know how we will pay for them... huge debts followed by huge taxes and decades of ######ed economic growth. That's the NDP platform in a nutshell.
