Dental plan, housing benefit, work on anti-scab legislation - so far a pretty good start on the agreement to get some NDP prioritizes in place.

As an NDP supporter, while it’d be nice to have the NDP lead without having to work with the more wishy washy, centrist Liberals, I think the deal has worked out well for the people of Canada and successfully moved some important issues forward.

Honestly a minority government that forces the NDP and Liberals to work together is probably the best possible leadership we could hope for in this country. The cons are completely useless, let them fester in irrelevance

Ya I agree with this. Frankly I would love to see proportional representation in the parliament. This would likely lead to very few, if ever, majorities, and require a lot of bipartisanship. Which is the best way to implement policy in my opinion.
I'd be a scab. If my place of business went on strike. I'd probably be the first to cross the picket line.
not because I don't believe what the unions would be fighting for but I'd have no choice.
coworkers hating me and making my live miserable forever until I quit, or not making that month's bill payments? I'd take the hate.
IMO We are going to see a return to So Cred rehtoric in 3-5 years if they continue to raise interest rates after this extended period of easy capital. E.g.

Manning (later AB Premier, and top Aberhart lieutenant who ran the show in SK) said throughout that the "ultimate object of the Social Credit Party is to gain **public control** of money and credit" (emphasis added).

Manning: "society is suffering from a chronic shortage of purchasing power ... the financial system, with its monopoly of credit, are directly responsible". Blaming the depression on "the restriction and manipulation of money by the financial monopolists" (EdmJrnl, Mar 14, 1938)
A lot of people claim out current problem is a symtom of the exact opposite; access to debt has been too easy and too unrestricted. Perhaps true, but there are other conditions affecting global inflation rates that go beyond monetary supply. I believe increasing the pain on homeowners too far will likely result in similar feelings boiling over about monetary policy.

What would you do if your employer locked you out and hired a bunch of replacement workers instead?
I think it's also understated how much influence the NDP got into cabinet. Guillbeault and even Wilkinson were both fringe players that were too radical for cabinet prior to the deal. Though liberals in name, their much closer to NDP policy alignment. Even if you think JT agrees with them 100%, the alliance with NDP gave him enough internal cover to name these people to cabinet. That's a pretty big deal for NDP aligned policy goals imo.
I think you need to get your head out of the gutter.
Anti-scab legislation already exists at the provincial level in both BC and Quebec and somehow the world didn’t come to an end.
But a lot of legs and thumbs got broken.
I’m on your side on this dude, the only thing that can match my hatred of mainly new immigrant Canadians offering labour at market prices is my love of paying more and more taxes every year for worse and worse services to keep the entrenched public sector union cabals happy.

This is why having an effective union that collects appropriate union dues and has a strike pay war chest is critical.
