Ahh, Hayne; I'd call that a political statement, but one with which I happen to agree. Having said that, these principles are embedded in the NDP constitution:

Quote:

• That the production and distribution of goods and services shall be directed to meeting the social and individual needs of people within a sustainable environment and economy and not to the making of profit;

• To modify and control the operations of the monopolistic productive and distributive organizations through economic and social planning. Towards these ends and where necessary, the extension of the principle of social ownership….

• The New Democratic Party is proud to be associated with the democratic socialist parties of the world and to share the struggle for peace, international co-operation and the abolition of poverty.
Not sure I'd like to go there either, so that leaves the hapless Liberals. Even holding my nose, I can't vote for the party of Trudeau and Chretien now muddling along ineptly by Ignatieff.

I agree though I think Dr. Ron Paul offers the best hope for America at this point. A libertarian at heart and a republican, not by choice, but by the necessity of our election process.

Not a good day for liberals in Canada.
