What Canada needs is socially progressive leadership that is not corrupt, that makes corporations and the wealthy pay their fair share (not everything, not a lot more, but their fair share), that reaoects workers and parents and everyone's rights, and that is fiscally responsible (not cutting revenue by cutting taxes on the wealthy and cutting programs that we have already paid for for everyone else to pay for it but trying to run the country/province within our means as much as possible while still truly caring for the ALL of the people, not just the wealthy.)

You'd have to go back to the 50's/60's to find a party that lived and breathed those ethics. Think Tommy Douglas, the CCF and early NDP.

Well seeing as one side is desperate to go back to the 50s/60s as far as rights are concerned, why not give them a taste of their own medicine and bring the tax policies back too?
