Wow! today is election day, and people are voting. I wish I can vote. actually I can, just not legally. Or if where to vote, I would vote for the NDP. One reason I vote for it is because they would establish affordable not-for-profit child care to enable 300,000 more women to join the labour force. An NDP government would invest $1 billion towards childcare in 2020 and grow that investment annually. I think that's really great for me, like that's a lot of money. Another reason I want to vote for the NDP is they would try to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. And they are taking this like a emergency, unlike other party's. Other party's ether don't care or care less than the NDP. The last reason I would vote for this party is that wait times for services would be reduced for healthcare. That's really important to me because I don't have a family doctor, so if I have a problem, I have to go to the emergency. However, when you go there, you at least have to wait for about 5 hours. And I don't have any entertainment, so it's kind of like sitting in a jail cell. In conclusion I would vote for the NDP for various reasons.

Spencer

10/21/2019 07:04:21 pm

@RZ
i agree that shorter wait times would be better for families, also additional family doctors would also help! maybe the NDP will see to that!

I agree with your childcare statement but what do you think would improve childcare?

10/21/2019 04:21:06 pm

Today is election day and its time to vote! If I could vote I would chose NDP.
One reason I would chose NDP is because of their views on climate change. The NDP believes that this is a emergency, and they will lower green house emissions by investing in green technologies. We have to accept that climate change is happening, but it seems like some party's don't care.
Another reason I would chose NDP is because of housing. Canada, especially Vancouver have rising house prices. It's very hard to get a home in Canada, and many people suffer from homelessness. The NDP promises to invest five billion to provide affordable housing. I think affordable housing is important because it would get more people off the streets.
In conclusion these are the reasons, why I would chose NDP.

Election Day. Every citizen in Canada is doing it. Or at least there supposed to. Today we talked a little bit about the system and how it works.
I would not vote for the Liberals. Why? Because even though they want to do good for the environment, I don’t think that they can do all of that. Plus they will make housing more expensive which will make more people poor.
I would not vote for the People’s Party because they don’t care for the environment what so ever. They don’t want to do anything about climate change and they want to stop the Paris agreement. They don’t really say anything about housing either.
I might vote for the NDP because they care about the environment and want to make a climate crisis plan. They also want to lower housing prices which would make it more affordable for people to live.
I also might vote for the Green Party because they want to tackle climate change and they care about the environment. They also kind of want to do something about housing.
I might vote for the Bloc Quebecois because they want to do something about the environment. They also want to do something about housing.
I might vote for the Conservative party because they want to do something about the environment and not taxes. Plus they want to make affordable housing for everyone.
In the end, I would probably vote for the NDP.

The election is happing today and although we don’t get to vote we can still have a opinion
The party that I would vote for is the liberal party
The reason I choose liberal Is because they want to support kids coming out of college with there student loans by making sure that they have 35 000 income till they must pay. Also if there income drops the loan will be on hold. This helps young adults from getting into debt that they cannot escape
I also support the liberal party because they want to take off ten percent price of houses for first time buyers so when they get a home of there own they don’t get themselves into poverty
I support the liberal party even if it might not be that popular

The long awaited election day is here! Although us under the age of 18 cannot vote, we still have the right to have an opinion.
Personally, I support the NDP (New Democratic Party). Why you may ask? There are a few reasons why I support this specific party.
Firstly, the NDP is planning to put a ton of effort into the environmental issues ongoing in our world as of now. Since climate change is getting a lot of recognition right now, it's nice to see the NDP actually trying to put their best effort to solve the issue.
Secondly, the NDP is planning to make the minimum wage across Canada $15. Personally I think that is a huge benefit towards low-class and struggling families because they would be able to afford basic necessities better.
In conclusion, I think the NDP will be an amazing leader and I think they'd benefit Canada tremendously.

10/21/2019 05:58:59 pm

Today is election day so you should vote because your vote is like your voice, it is your opinion and your sharing it.

For me, I would vote for NDP because the Liberals would expand the Trans Mountain Pipeline but the NDP would stop it. I don't like the pipeline because it could leaks and pollute the water. Also the NDP would put $1 billion towards child care, while the People's party won't do anything about childcare. Childcare is important to me because it will keep children healthy and no one wants sick children.

Stopping the pipeline and supporting childcare is why I would vote for the NDP.

Today was election day, if I were older I would vote for the NDP unlike the conservative party, the NDP actually is taking action in student debt and reduce tuition fees for our education. The second reason why I vote for the NDP is because, for child care the NDP said that they would invest 1 billion dollars into child care. In conclusion I personally think that the NDP would make a great government for us in Canada and would benefit us a lot.

Adrian

10/21/2019 06:25:34 pm

It was election day today and people that are 18 or older is allowed to vote. In my opinion I think I would vote for the NDP, which stands for New Democratic Party. Anyway I think I would vote for the NDP because climate change is really starting to ruin our planet at the moment and the NDP is actually trying to solve it. Another reason why I support the NDP is because they said that they will invest one billion dollars for child care.

I would vote for NDP if I was old enough to vote because of these reasons. All people that are able to vote should vote because all voices matter, like Mr.Hong said today.

The election is today and i just cant wait to see trudeau out of office. But this PAR doesnt need to be any longer than whatt i want it to be so i ll just dive right into what party i would support. For housing I would not support NDP. In fact I dissagree with 90% of what they say. In my opion they are no more than some socialists that want to increase taxes to the point of unlivibilty atleast comfortably whether intentional or not. Our current tax rate is around 33% depending on you income which is way too high. In what world is an organization taking 1/3 of your income at gunpoint not theft. 33%! Its unbelivable. To a certain degree we do need to pay taxes to pay for public services. But one third of my hard earned income. No thanks. And alot of this is spent outside of canada or on things like welfare or locking people up for stupid crimes that are completely victimless. If I worked minimum wage 8 hours a day like many canadians do i would make a measly 21235.2 dollars per year. by the end i would only have 14157.2 dollars to live of in a year to cover food, rent, internet, phone bills, electricity, gas, and other neccesities. An average person spends 3000 dollars yearly so lets make our earnings 11157. the average rent in vancouver is 2,208 dollars. yearly that is 26496 for a 1 bedroom apartment making it literally impossible to live in vancouver with out some serious money saving and sketchy apartments. To raise taxes would be disasterous.. This is why i agree with the conservative housing plan as it makes it easier for homeowners to obtain a morgage. I also think that a conservative style immigration plan would help as well or a PPC plan depending on how bad things get. Really less people and more jobs = more affordable housing and more people employed. along with lowered taxes this would mean Bob the low income man would now be able to move from a sketchy neighbourhood to a less sketchy one and for bob to save his little bit of extra cash and spend some of spending it recreationaly. He might buy a bunch of flags or candles for his candle collection or indulge in a hobby he didnt have the money for previously or get a PAL and buy a surplus SKS and become one of the millions of canadians who safely sport shoot as a hobby. Less taxes mean more money in everyones pockets from sam the former homeless guy who got a job and now can afford rent and afford some help for his mental health issues to Bob the low income 22 year old who always wanted to try sport shooting but never had the time or money to Gnhsk the single mother who needs to take care of her 4 adopted children. How about the environment: a contrivorsial topic for the left right authoritarion and libertarians everywhere. First my opinon I believe that climate change is a very large issue that could get really bad really quick. However i believe that the entire 2030 date is a little unlikely. The UN has done these kind of things before like saing that in 2000 entire cities would be completley submerged. this is clearly not true however do not mistake me for a climate change denier. I beleive that this is a very true and very scary possible future that our generation could suffer from. I would support the Conservative partys plan which is to focus on things like renewable energy as well as other forms of even more clean energy sources. things like nuclear power which i am a form believer in. The liberal plan of taxes would be a disaster and most likely would not yield great results. However funding research of things like breeder reactors or wind power that isnt garbage would be high up on this list. Im no communist but i think this info should also be free for all to build so that its more accesable to third world countries. Heck if little Jimmy wanted to build a micro nuclear reactor in his garage ( with no nuclear fuel of course) for a science project he should be able to with tiny little fake fuel rods and clay cooling towers and those tiny green army men e all had when we were like 5 as guards then thats cool. We should educate kids about this kind of stuff. Little sally jimmy dshk gnshk and artyom are our future and if they are educated humanity is educated. If a country with no nukes keeps on using coal power then they should be punished to oblivion. if they still dont switch its time for invasion. coal power is literally the worst thing ever. we should also reserch gallium alluminum engines and use those as replacenments for gasoline or diesel fuel. and thems the facts as those small people say or would thems the opinions be more accurate? i really dont know. anyhow i think you know what party i support. or this could all be a mess of me ranting about taxes who knows.

This year there are many parties wanting their representative to be the next prime minister. I have looked at all of them and the things that they are promising and i would support the New Democratic Party if i were old enough to vote. one reason i would vote for the NDP is that they are going to be raising minimum wage to 15$ per hour, this is important because i am going to have my first job soon and this would help me a lot in an area such as vancouver where the cost of living is so high. The second reason i would support the NDP is that if they get elected, they are going to declare a climate emergency and to reduce greenhouse gasses in canada, which is important because i climate change is real and our government needs to help stop climate change because its ruining our planet and will soon become irreversible. These are just some of the many reasons that i support the NDP.

Today Monday, October 21 of the year 2019, is the day we are all Canadians elect a new Prime Minister. On this day people decide who they want to vote for and who they think is the right person that deserves to sit at the highest level of government and be able to tell Canadians what they’re going to do and how they’re going to do it. Today Monday, October 21 of the year 2019, is the day where all Canadians elect a new Prime Minister. On this day people decide who they want to vote for and who they think is the right person that deserves to sit at the highest level of government and be able to tell Canadians what they’re going to do and how they’re going to do it.

My parents personally voted on two different parties I am not going to name any of them, however in my personal opinion I believe that an NDP government is right for all Canadians, I found the NDP very interesting to read, because they talk about the future more than any other party does they give us timelines deadlines and much more.

But the fact is if Justin Trudeau is reelected a lot of Canadians will have felt betrayed because of the recent masked arguments that Justin Trudeau is involved with. A conservative government would not help Canadians in economy and environmental support.

I believe the conservative government of Canada might bring distrust and cause Canadians to regret what they voted for and who they voted for.

A green party government would do almost the exact same thing as what the NDP is planning on doing if elected, however the fact is that the Green party is not getting farther than the NDP, in fact If the Green party was ahead of the NDP in Polling and votes I would probably vote for them. But that’s not the case this election.

And honestly I wouldn’t even consider the People’s party of Canada/the PPC and Bloc Québécois because neither party has a trustworthy and reasonable plan for the rest of Canada, on the other hand both leaders want to decrease immigration reduce taxes for the middle class but yet not fund the middle class either this concerns me a lot, if either party is put at the highest level of government.

But now on to the big idea, my opinion on the 2019 Canadian election. At this point all the votes will be casted in and it will be counted, but no matter what I trust the NDP government the But now on to the big idea, my opinion on the 2019 Canadian election. At this point all the votes will be casted in and it will be counted, but no matter what I trust the NDP government the most is because an NDP government will modernize and expand public transit across Canadian communities. Federal transit funds will be directed towards scaling up low carbon transit and electrifying transit fleets by 2030.

And for housing the NDP government would invest $5 billion in the first 18 months of their term to provide affordable housing and build 500,000 affordable units over 10 years. And will also establish fast-start funds to quickly build co-operative, social, and non-profit housing.

And another words I also believe the NDP government will drastically improve Pharmacare and healthcare because of their amazing plan in which an NDP government will invest $10 billion every year and work alongside provincial governments to fund prescription drugs for all Canadians. And they would declare opioid addiction a public health emergency and launch an investigation into the role pharmaceutical companies have played in fueling the crisis.

If in your opinion you do not agree with me please respond to this post with a small explanation why, I would greatly appreciate your descriptive feedback and your opinion. And also I would like to give feedback to everyone reading this post I personally I am voting for the new democratic party of Canada/the NDP to sit at the highest level of government for their promises and statements, this is the end of my post ladies and gentlemen thank you very much for listening I hope you all have a very good night.

Until next time cheers!

The election is today. How exciting! Who are you going to vote for or which party do you like? I am going to vote for the conservative party ( not actually vote, I'm underage ) because of their promise on immigration and justice.

First, immigration in Canada is getting out of hand. We are letting illegal immigrants in to our country. You might think, "Oh, Canada is so nice because we let immigrants in". Did you think about illegal immigration? Did you think about immigrants may have a shady past and that is why they moved to Canada? The conservative party promises to restore fairness, order and compassion of our immigration system. They will also stop illegal border crossings. Meanwhile, the NDP will just let random immigrants in to our country. Regardless of their background. What the NDP is saying that if a illegal immigrant that has a shady past and a possible murder, they can request safety and access to the country. Meaning, we just let loose a murderer. The conservative party will stop people with shady backgrounds into our country. Canada will be a better place because non-shady immigrants will be strolling around. That is better than immigrants with shady pasts prowling the streets.

I also agree on the conservative party because of their promise on Justice. They will crack down gangs by ending automatic bail for gang members. They will also create tougher sentences to gang activity. Meanwhile, the NDP doesn't care about justice. They just sit back and relax. They do not take any action to make Canada better. Instead, they are way too nice and does not care if the crime rates rise up. Would you have petifiles running around, and not worrying that if they get caught, the NDP would be chill about it. The conservative party is different. They impose a mandatory minimum sentence of five years to sexually abusing children. That will make petifiles think twice before assaulting kids.

In conclusion, I vote for the conservative party. They are better than other parties because they try to make Canada better.

10/21/2019 07:44:29 pm

today is October 21 2019. This is the day that we decide canada's future. We have had an ok political past so far, and i hope to keep it that way. we have 6 parties running for governor in Canada. we have Jagmeet Singh(democratic), Elizebeth May(green party), Maxime Bernier(peoples party), Andrew Scheer(conservatives party),Yves-François Blanchet(Bloc Quebecois), and Justin Trudeau(liberal party) who was just currently the prime minister of canada. In todays modern world, people over the legal age of 18 can vote for whatever party they like and agree with the platform of. Because kids my age cannot vote, our teachers decided to ask us to write about who we agree and disagree with.

One of the things i agree with about the new democratic party, is they're urge to contain and solve climate change. On the website provided, i read that they pledge to declare a climate emergency and seek to make canada a world leader in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. i think that is great because no countries have taken the initiative to start to make a change yet. And if Canada was the first, that would be so amazing and inspirational in our future history.

another point i have is that they want to reunite and be kind to the indigenous people, which is everything they deserve at this point. After a dark and harming past, the indigenous people deserve some love and respect. The NDP's pledge todevelop a National Action Plan for Reconciliation with Indigenous people. this means that the indigenous people will have the same amount and quality of human rights as non indigenous people.

Im hoping that in the future when i can vote, that Candada will have running that really have a pledge to make a difference in they're platform because, that's what canada needs. After a dark past, we need and bright and productive future to make everything up. I think that this is very important for kids and teenagers to learn BEFORE they are allowed to vote, so that they make the right decisions and so they can learn about what humans need and human rights and all that stuff. this will deeply and strongly affect our future since todays youth is our future and we should be taught about why humans need rights and what a reasonable and unreasonable government is.

Have you ever thought of who you would vote for the leader of your country? Even if your too young, you can still vote but you can`t really submit your vote. Today I am going to share who I think should be Prime Minister of Canada. First the Green Party(Elizabeth May). I think the Green Party leader should be the Prime Minister because for the environment. She talked about working together to stop Climate Change. Many Parties are tackling Climate Change but they didn`t really talk about working together. Also you can`t really complete big goals by yourself or in a very small group. The Green Party would actually bring other parties together to tackle this difficult task. My second reason is the economy. They wanted to end poverty for all Canadians for a brighter future.Like who would want to go through poverty?(not me)

In conclusion, I elect the Green Parties because of these reasons. (Though I also want to elect the NDP for the environment for some reason.)

If I ever voted I would vote for Jagmeet Singh because he would reduce green house gasses and crack down on global warming. Second because he said he will do lots of good stuff for health care like make health care more affordable. Thats why I think Jagmeet Singh should priminister.

Today is the election day!

I am going to vote for the NDP (even though I can't vote) I am voting for them because of their promise on environment and education.

First its environment because they will turn climate change into a EMERGENCY, they will become a world leader in making a change in getting rid of greenhouse gas emissions. They will invest in energy efficient tech before the temperature raises by 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Second, education because they will transition away from student loans to one that are more affordable and don't have to be paid back. They will also reduce tuition fees and give them a cap so they are not to expensive.

In a quick sum up I want to vote for the NDP.

@ Kaelyn - Yes, indeed. The liberal party has a minority government now. We can talk about it in class tomorrow. Do you think this is good or bad for Canada?

Its election day and people can vote for whoever they think will be a great prime minister and will help solve most of our problems that might be affecting the whole world (climate change) or just a city or province like BC having lots of sewage going into the ocean.Also i'm voting for NDP if i can vote but i can't since i'm underage but people not underage can vote for whoever they want to vote for, and here are some reasons i think you should vote for NDP.

If NDP wins the election they would make all federal cars electric by 2050 which will help us reduce climate change since its a big problem and cars are affecting the climate change a lot. This will help stop climate change problem a lot but there will still be some other things still polluting earth.

Another thing NDP is doing if they get elected is that they will ban all single use plastic which has been polluting the ocean and animals since they might get stuck on the plastic or eat it and we eat fish so when we eat fish we get plastic in our body which is a bad thing because if we eat too much plastic we could have a long term health problem and no one wants that. Also it will kill sea animals so that's why i think banning single use plastics is a good thing.

A thing the NDP's are doing is to make dental care under the Canadian Health Act to provide dental insurance to many people in Canada that cant afford it like people living in poverty might not be able to afford dental care and might be using money for other things more important like food or water and other things.

In conclusion if i could vote i would vote for NDP since i like what they say under environment and healthcare, but you don't have to vote for NDP you can vote for whoever you think will be a great leader.

Today, 21st of October, is the federal election day for Canada. Every Canadian citizen (over the age of 18) has the right and obligation to vote. Although I am a minor and cannot vote yet, I still have an opinion on the platforms proposed by the political parties in this election. After all, I am a Canadian and Canada is my home.

A policy topic that hits close to home for me is regarding the childcare. Different parties proposed their platforms and I think the Conservative and NDP are the most promising on this topic. According to pollenize.org and I quote " A Conservative government would introduce tax credits for children’s arts, fitness, and learning and will maintain the Child Care Benefit.” The Conservative’s policy is better than the NDP’s because the Conservative is promising a child care program that benefits more families with children in Canada. The NDP, however, focuses more on new parents and infants up to 1 year old. The Conservative childcare tax credit program would not only assist parents with after school care programs but also encourage families to enroll their children in extracurricular activities.

Another issue that is important to me is the environmental policies. I find, again, the NDP and Conservative the two most representative platforms. At a glance, NDP seems to focus on only investing green technologies on government buildings, assets and infrastructures. While a Conservative government would introduce tax benefits and other incentives for companies and citizens to all invest in green technologies. However, when looking into the two parties’ energy and transportation policies, I think the NDP will form an overall environmental-friendly government. This is because the Conservatives will build the Trans Mountain Pipeline, the LNG Pipeline as well as expanding the George Massy Tunnel in BC. These projects could have devastating effects on the environment in B.C. The construction of the Trans Mountain Pipeline and the LNG Pipeline will cause pollution. The cheaper oil and gas prices will also encourage more people to use these products and create green house emissions. By expanding the tunnel under the Fraser River, the natural eco-system in the river will be disturbed.

In conclusion, comparing the Conservatives and NDP, I would vote for NDP because despite the Conservative’s childcare program is better for me now, the NDP’s environmental policies would build a better future for me and my generation.

Today, October 21st is the Federal Election day when people that are eligible to vote can choose to vote for a party! I would vote for the NDP (new democratic party) because they plan to tackle climate change and "make Canada a world leader in reducing greenhouse gas emissions." The world would be more clean! They also promise to fund for more AFFORDABLE houses, and claiming to build up to 500 thousand affordable units so less people become homeless.

Overall, I think the NDP is the best for the job because of these reasons, and a really important point is them taking action in a global problem.

Today is election day and today we vote! People all around Canada are voting for the party they support so they can be the next Prime Minister of Canada.

If I were able to vote then I would vote for the NDP. The first reason I voted for the NDP is because they are trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The NDP government would declare a climate emergency and takes it seriously. The NDP would invest in energy efficient green technologies in order to rise the global temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

The second reason I voted for the NDP is because they would invest $5 billion in the first 18 years of their term to provide affordable housing. They will build 500,000 affordable units over 10 years. That is why I am supporting the NDP.

Election day is happening, and it's time to vote. If I could vote, I would vote for Liberals because of these reasons:

The first reason why I would vote for the Liberals is because of what they'll do for the environment. They would plant 2 billion trees, they'll ban single use plastic products in 2021, commit to conserve 25% of Canada's land and ocean, and more.

The second reason is because of healthcare. The Liberals said they will make access to mental healthcare easier, and will invest $700 million dollars in accessibility to drug treatment. Many speople become homeless because of drugs, so this will also help homeless people.

The third reason is because of Indigenous uses. The Liberals said that they will improve health care for Indigenous peoples. They will also support them in becoming more independent. They will also improve the living conditions of Indigenous peoples.

Elections are very important, and it is your duty as a Canadian citizen to vote.

May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.

Today’s election day. This year, we have 6 major parties running, the Liberals, the Green party, the NDPS, the Bloc Québécois, the People's Party, the New Democrat, and the Conservatives. Each party has its own leader. For this election, we have Justin Trudeau, Andrew sheer, Elizabeth may, Jagmeet Singhs, Yves-François Blanchet, and Maxime Bernier. Personally I would vote for the NDP party. The reason for this would mainly be because of their climate promises and housing prices.

We are very fortunate to live in Canada, but sometimes housing can be quite expensive. Meaning lots of people are homeless. By making housing more affordable, maybe more people can get off the streets and get a stable job. The NDPS is planning on investing $5 billion in the first 18 months of its term to provide affordable housing and build 500,000 affordable houses.

Unlike the other parties, the NDP party is really focusing on climate change. They call it a climate emergency. The NDPS is promising to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The NDP would invest in energy-efficient green technologies in order to stabilize the global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

As of right now, I don’t have the right to vote. But when I do turn 18, I will have the right to vote and decide what I want for my future. Honestly, I find the voting system a little confusing and complicated but I bet there’s a reason for that.

After reading the proposals from each party, my vote would go to the New Democratic Party (NDP). The two main points that I'm focusing on is the environment and transit, two major problems that we've been facing.

The reason I looked into the environment is because it's a significant problem that everybody is talking about. The NDP stated that they would declare our predicament as a climate emergency. Which is great because we need action. They also claimed that they would reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and invest in green energy-efficient technologies.

Transit is also a problem. For some people without a bus pass, fares can be quite expensive. But most people have bus passes so that's not a big problem. Buses are a form of carpooling but they also guzzle huge amounts of gas. So I believe that we should focus a bit on electric transportation. This ties in perfectly with the NDP's promise. They say that, if elected, they will be sending out electric transit fleets by 2030. They also mention that they will work towards making public transit fare-free and more affordable which will make it much more convenient for everybody. Imagine, you get free transportation that is powered by electricity. It's also ecofriendly!

In conclusion, I would vote for the NDP because they proposed solid plans. They were practical and ecofriendly which is what we need right now.

Today is Election Day and people aged 18 and up can vote for a party they support all around the world. Today I’m going to tell you which party I support and why I support it.
I actually don’t support any party but if I had to choose one, it would be NDP. I don’t think that everything it says is right (like the taxes) but I support the most. I support the NDP because it claims if it’s in power it will invest 10 billion dollars in pharmacy every year so that every Canadian can get prescription drugs. That is a prelige because not everybody can get prescription drugs. They even claim that they will have public health experts to decriminalize drug addiction and that's very important because the people with drug addictions and finally live a normal and healthy life.
The second reason I think that the NDP is the best choice is because they will ban all single-use plastics and work with municipalities to achieve a zero-waste future through waste management and recycling programs which is very important as well so we actually have a future. That is also important because this way people who are too lazy or just don’t care can’t stop people who want to save the ocean.
In conclusion I would vote for the NDP, but I still don’t agree with everything it does.

Today is Election Day! Who will you vote for? Or which party. I may not be able to legally vote but if I had to I would vote for the New Democratic Party (NDP) Why? Here’s 3 reasons why:
1. They claim that they will help reduce Green House Gases as they take it seriously so they will invest in green technologies.
2. They claim they will invest 10 billion dollars in child care
3. They claim they will ban single use plastics that way our oceans won’t have plastic in them and we won’t eat them! Because fish and other sea creatures might eat the tiny plastic particles and mistaken it for food when they eat this we consume the fish so basically we would be eating plastic!
The NDP has made many promises and all of them seem good but can they keep these promises? I don’t know but because they made many promising proposals and statements I choose NDP :)
