Moved from the Grace Life Church thread, in a hopes to avoid further derailing that thread.

Here are excerpts from the 2021 NDP Convention, I know I've missed a bunch but I think you get the idea.

https://www.ndp.ca/convention2021



BE IT RESOLVED THAT Paragraph i of Section 3.9 of the Policy Book be replaced with: “i. Decriminalizing the possession for personal use of all drugs, with the goal of working with provinces and territories to promote the rehabilitation and recovery of drug users and to reduce overdoses, the spread of blood-borne and sexually transmitted infections, and the stigmatization of drug users while undermining the influence of organized crime.”

BE IT RESOLVED THAT:BE IT RESOLVED THAT the NDP propose a Federal Jobs Guarantee as the cornerstone to a just recovery while transitioning to a zero-carbon economy. A Jobs Guarantee would aim to provide well-compensated unionized work in healthcare, at-home care, education, childcare, green energy (e.g. solar, wind, geothermal), and nationalized electric public transit manufacturing

BE IT RESOLVED THAT the NDP would increase Employment Insurance sickness benefits from15 weeks to 50 weeks.

Section 3.1, item (i) be removed from the NDP Policy Book and replaced with the following:I. The decriminalization of sex work.BE IT RESOLVED THAT:The NDP tables as soon as possible a bill in Parliament to decriminalize sex work in Canada. The NDP makes decriminalizing of sex work in Canada a central element of its election platform.

BE IT RESOLVED THAT an NDP government would put in place a guaranteed livable income that will reach $2,000 per month over time.”

BE IT RESOLVED THAT an NDP government would strengthen its legal obligation and apply the Canada Labour Code to penal institutions to ensure that prisoners are treated equally and receive a living wage.

BE IT RESOLVED THAT:THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the NDP endorses the legalization of all drugs, including all pharmaceuticals and street drugs. Doctors will be there to advise patients but not to be medicinal gatekeepers

BE IT RESOLVED THAT the following be added to the preamble of the NDP Constitution: “Socialism, a cooperative commonwealth in which public ownership and democratic control ofthe major means of production, distribution and exchange, is the goal of the New Democratic Party.”

BE IT RESOLVED THAT Canada develop a net-zero building code for all new buildings in Canada to be issued by 2025.

Despite decades of austerity rhetoric from Liberals and Conservatives, the pandemic has shown massive federal spending is not only possible, but absolutely necessary in an emergency;

Establishing, within one year of forming government, a Crown corporation to provide fare free cross-country inter-city and rural public transit to connect all residents of Canada to the services, care, and communities they need.

Therefore, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the NDP actively campaign in opposition of all new pipeline construction, and for a rapid conversion to renewable, green energy systems, recognizing that to fund such a gigantic energy shift it will be necessary to conscript the enormous, accumulated wealth of the resource corporations by nationalizing Big Oil and Gas under workers’ and community democratic control, while fully respecting Indigenous peoples’ rights.

Therefore BE IT RESOLVED THAT the NDP oppose all carbon intensive energy projects, including those already in development such as Coastal GasLink pipeline and Site C dam;

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the NDP propose a Federal Jobs Guarantee as the cornerstone to a just recovery while transitioning to a zero-carbon economy. A Jobs Guarantee would aim to provide well-compensated unionized work in healthcare, at-homecare, education, childcare, green energy (e.g. solar, wind, geothermal), and nationalized electric public transit manufacturing.

BE IT RESOLVED THAT NDP call for a ban of Glyphosate by 2022.

BE IT RESOLVED THAT the NDP will do everything in its power to oppose Energy East, a project that would have a devastating effect for Quebec.

Therefore, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the NDP actively campaign to oppose the construction of any new pipelines and for the rapid conversion to green, renewable energy systems, recognizing that to finance an energy change of this magnitude it will be necessary to mobilize the vast wealth accumulated by resource corporations by nationalizing large oil and gas companies and placing them under the democratic control of workers and communities, while fully respecting the rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Therefore, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the NDP advocate the following: rapid de-funding of police forces in Canada by 50%, transferring the funds to necessary social services including but not limited to housing, mental health, and addictions treatment; the disarming of police beginning with the removal of all military hardware, tasers, gas, pepper and other sprays and guns; the permanent removal of all non-indigenous police forces from indigenous lands; and ultimately, the disbanding of armed, uniformed police forces to be replaced by community-controlled peace services.

WHEREAS: Our 2 Spirit siblings have been and continue to be on Turtle Island (North America) long before the destructive legacies of colonization that have wreaked such havoc in their lives.BE IT RESOLVED THAT: Be It Resolved: That the policy of referring to “LGBTQI2S+” be changed to “2SLGBTQI+” for the party and all riding EDAs.

WHEREAS:WHEREAS trans-people have a sense of gender identity; and WHEREAS trans-people have sex characteristics that do not coincide with their gender identity; and WHEREAS gender dysphoria and the lack of treatment thereof can be life-threatening; BE IT RESOLVED THAT: Therefore be it resolved, that all trans-related therapy, medication, and surgery be provided free of cost.

WHEREAS:WHEREAS we know that journalistic integrity lies at the heart of our democracy and is under attack by “fake news”, rampant distrust of mainstream media and the manipulation of social media by foreign actors; and WHEREAS the NDP’s previous solution was too narrow and only dealt with the private sector media, BE IT RESOLVED THAT: Policy Book section 6.10 (d) be replaced with:d. Requiring the formation of a self-governing non-governmental organization that would regulate professional journalism (like a Canadian College of Journalists) that can uphold the journalistic integrity of members of the organization, regardless of their affiliation with public, private or self- published media. This organization should be self-governed by a council that should reflect Canada’s diverse population, and which should include both journalists and the public (with a significant majority given to journalists).

BE IT RESOLVED THAT the NDP will actively campaign for federal and provincial governments to guarantee that all Canadian residents can receive the health care they need, regardless of their immigration status.

Therefore BE IT RESOLVED THAT: Section 2, 4.4 of the NDP policy book be amended to incorporate the following:- New Democrats believe that all migrants, including refugees, study and work permitholders and undocumented people in Canada must be regularized and given full and permanent immigration status now without exception.- All migrants arriving in the future must do so with full and permanent immigration status.

Oppose the Liberal government’s planned National Defence budget increases and call for an immediate freeze on the expansion of military spending.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT an NDP government will commit to phasing out the Canadian Armed Forces.BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT all members of the Canadian Armed Forces will be retrained, at the expense of the federal government, into civil service roles that help expand Canadian, provincial and municipal social services, such as expanded health care, education, community services, public transit and parks.BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT all members of the Canadian Armed Forces continue to receive full salaries and benefits until they assume their new jobs in the civil service.

Therefore, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the NDP actively campaign to get Canada out of NATO, to get NATO out of Afghanistan, to remove the NATO nuclear ring around Russian borders, and to disengage Canadian forces from any support role for the U.S. and its client regimes around the world.

BE IT RESOLVED THAT the New Democrats support an end to the heroic commemoration of Macdonald and instead aim to present Canadians with a nuanced and holistic view of Canada’sfirst Prime Minister by working with municipalities to remove Macdonald statues from public spaces and display them in museums instead.

BE IT RESOLVED THAT the NDP add the following to section 5.7 of the Policy Book:5.7h Acting under the principle of Land Back by actively seeking and pursuing all opportunities to return Crown lands and restore Indigenous jurisdiction to Indigenous nations.

BE IT RESOLVED THAT an NDP government would consult with the cultural community with a view to opening discussions with the Government of Quebec on cultural autonomy and on the transfer of power and funding for culture, while maintaining the historical share of federal funding.

THAT the New Democratic Party of Canada leadership consult with the Green Party of Canada leadership about the possibility of a fair and mutually advantageous one-time alliance going into the next federal election and/or a subsequent election. THAT joint policy priorities relating to electoral reform, climate action and social justice be identified that the parties commit to pursuing collaboratively in the next Parliament. THAT the focus be on ridings where collaboration would make the greatest possible difference and where there is support for collaboration from the local Riding Associations.

BE IT RESOLVED THAT Canada remove the symbols of religion from its flags, medallions, medals, emblems, state decorations, badges, awards, schools, courts, legislatures and other public facilities and commemorations and remedy the fact that the only faith-based statutory holidays are Christian. And in the spirit of ending colonialism Canada should stop all support for missionizing at home and abroad. To maintain the status quo is to re-affirm that one group of Canadians are inherently superior to others and that is classic racism.

The NDP: Gain all party consensus to update the Canadian flag to incorporate Indigenous symbols; Work with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis artists to identify meaningful symbols to include on anew Canadian flag that symbolizes a pathway towards reconciliation and a strong, meaningful nation to nation relationship between Canada and Indigenous peoples.

Absolutely incredible that there’s that many people out of touch with reality, common sense and basic economic knowledge.....it’s almost like they’re trying to outdo each other’s outrageous proposals. Thankfully there’s no hope the NDP will ever form a government.

That was a protest vote gone wrong. You’ll never see the NDP in power in Alberta again.

It’s called demographic change. If Alberta wants to think for themselves we’ll import more obedient 3rd worlds and easterners.
