there's nothing "progressive" about decriminalizing drugs or prostitution - although the latter is potentially less of a problem, if enacted as an effect of full gender equality. to put it another way: once we have full gender equality, then we can start talking about legalizing prostitution. until then, legalized prostitution is inevitably going to take advantage of women for the financial benefit of men - and that is the simple fact of it, no matter how many fat bros want to argue otherwise.

with drugs, however, progress means getting past them, not getting used to them. giving up on the fight to get rid of drugs is cynicism of the highest order, it's not progress.

i'd support pharmacare.

but, where is the pressure to stop the pipelines and push forward on the transition off of carbon? this is a far more pressing concern than legalizing nihilistic and anti-social behaviour is.

it's a little worrying. the liberal party conventions of the past were always very left-leaning. this sounds more like it's a meeting place for the libertarian right.
