Ah yes throw more money at problems that always works ! If you truely believe 3% would solve homelessness , fix health care and solve the addiction problem you are the one without a brain
A lot of people would say start at 3% of my discretionary income , and see nothing change other then giving a lot of middle management in government a 3% raise. And these people won’t vote for a PST because they have zero faith the government will use the money efficiently
This is where NDP needed to do a better job in the campaign and show how they would make these changes
We also need to change the overall thinking that the problems can just be solved by throwing more money at it .
