Across the Canadian left, politics is increasingly reduced to a familiar routine: open Canva, draft a statement on the issue of the day, post, and repeat. Yet these statements share a defining feature: they offer no plausible path to changing the conditions they describe. It feels like meaningful political action, but it isn’t.
Great ideas. An effective party inspires people to action for a cause. I think there’s a number of issues we disagree on but I do think that coalition building to effect change is more important in the short term than to make a campaign with flashy but unlikely promises.
I’d argue most of the disagreements on the left are purely theoretical. We’re so far from any form of socialist society, that the focus should be on supporting any effort in that direction.
