It really depends on get what done.
Can I ask what is Mulcair proposing to do?

Govern with integrity, tempered by pragmatism. But honestly, major campaign promises have been 15$/day national daycare, a balanced budget (through an increase in the corporate income tax rate), 1.3 billion per year in dedicated funding for public transit initiatives, and no more muzzling federal scientists, among others.

What the NDP is proposing sounds pretty clear to me.

ok,

$15/day daycare
more spending on transit
strengthen the CCP and revert to 65 retirement
more spending on healthcare
lowering the tax rate for small business from 11 to 9 percent.
and balance budget

all this money comes from an increase in corporate income tax? From what to what? I am not so convinced by the numbers.

I think you're right

‘More about change’: New Ipsos poll shows most voters ok with Mulcair, Trudeau minority, just not Harper | Globalnews.ca

People want change and I definitely think its coming.. It'll be nice not to see Harper representing this country on the world stage anymore.. His goose is cooked and I think people who can't accept that reality should start accepting that reality - start letting it sink in... Can't wait!

I often wonder just how well the NDP would do if they started talking about union support.

The NDP is promising spending spree again, not surprisingly, and of course with everyone else's money. Waiting new spending promise for the single moms and families with 5 kids.

What's interesting is that Justin Trudeau every time I hear him is always saying Thomas Mulcair wants to cut and cut, just like Stephen Harper wants to cut.
