I think a majority of Canadians are kind, hardworking, and want what’s best for their families, friends, neighbours, and the country.

What does a brand new political party platform look like to appeal to an overwhelming majority of Canadians?

Okay, so caring for one another is in and the blue party is out.

Saving money through consolidation and single-payer services? Again, blue’s out. Orange has it here but can’t get into power without vote reform and the courage it gives us to vote our hearts.

One’s obligation to friends, family, and the country, directly proportional to one’s income, so our most at-risk can focus on improvement? Blues still out. This seems to be a red thing.

I don’t know whether there’s enough there to get a new party. Who’s convinced you that one of the existing ones are no good; and tell us which blue it was too.

The old Conservative Party, the current one is just the reform party

Centre Ice Canadians are building the “Our Canadian Future Party” (real name TBD pending elections Canada approval) – target audience is centrist, with largely reasonable statements so far. In particular, they’re heavily pro nuclear, which is a huge selling point for me…

Heh… I like the idea of a ‘blue line’ ‘centre ice’ party… Every Canuck should know what it means, and it’s a nod to our Hockey heritage, but I can totally see it getting mixed up with the nazi police ‘thin blue line’ bullshit.

“Icing” has two very different meanings there.

But I’d definitely support a political penalty box.

But it’s a group of old Conservatives, how can it be centrist?

Canadians are more divided than ever, I don’t think you’ll be able to find a platform that appeals to the overwhelming majority

I think it’s a false division, which is stoked by far-right leaning politicians. I’d like to believe that even people who lean right politically are still for functioning public education and health care. The issue is that people aren’t doing as well as they remember doing 20 years ago for a variety of very solvable issues.
