the next section is called "advancing the just society", and...

the "just society" was a historical policy by the elder trudeau, which was sort of ripped from lbj's "great society". so, it's kind of a part of the canadian lexicon, and it's not odd to see it pop up here and there. this platform is going to town with it, though, in a rather clear attempt to undermine both the liberal party and it's current leader. the messaging is clear - the green party and elizabeth may, not the liberal party and justin trudeau, are the true protectors of the legacy of pierre trudeau - for better or for worse, i suppose.

it's ballsy. pierre was ballsy. is it true? they'd have to govern; we'd have to watch them do it. but, there's a good case for it, at least.

i enthusiastically support all of these kinds of things, i always do.

but, the thing i want to point out is that the section on sex work gets it right, and maybe it's because it was written by a woman - they want to liberalize the sex work laws, but they point to the gai (as well as the free tuition.) as a way out, indicating that they get the point that sex work may be a choice for some people, but should never be the only choice available for anybody.

it's otherwise a statement of solidarity and support for women, queer people and minority language rights, the latter being a quintessentially canadian thing. no criticisms, here.
