All Canadians should have access to medication that they need, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Friday, while expounding broader themes of inequality in light of Justin Trudeau's blackface scandal.

The New Democrats are proposing to spend $10 billion a year to ensure that all necessary medication and medical devices are free at the point of care starting in 2020.

The proposed NDP plan would kick in sooner than the timeline recommended this year by an expert panel, which recommended establishing a national list of prescription drugs for pharmacare by Jan. 1, 2022, and expanding it by Jan. 1, 2027. Singh said he wanted to put the focus on people who are hurting because of those incidents, telling them they do belong, and are valued.

He touted the NDP's commitment to expunge all convictions for simple possession of marijuana, saying those charges have targeted people of colour.

The negotiations with each province would take years and likely dead lock mercifully for a hypothetical NDP government as the deficit , debt balloon and a torrent of brains pour out of Canada. As for foreign meddling.? It would be a bizarre of yacking libtard bureaucrats. CHAOS

A great reason for Canadians to get off their butts and get out and vote...

The only real progressives in tne country as far as I can see

After a year as a toddler living with his grandparents in India, Singh spent his early childhood in St. John's and Grand Falls-Windsor, both in Newfoundland and Labrador, before relocating with his family to Windsor, Ontario.[2][18]

And us people who actually work will have to pay for it all of course.

It's all fantasy, as NDP will never win in Ottawa. theJagmeetSingh can promise the moon if he wants to!

Conrad Black: Trudeau’s not a racist, just a hypocrite and a weak leaderIf the government generally was playing it straight and not trying to gain re-election by defaming its opponents, Trudeau could have expressed regret, claimed he’d learned and moved on Felon says what?
