Platform Analysis: Jagmeet Singh
Country: Canada
Party: New Democratic Party (NDP)
Economic Policy:
Supports a progressive tax system
A system in which your tax rates increase the more you earn
Clarification: Your rate goes up after your income reaches a new bracket, and any money you make in that bracket is taxed by that amount.
Example: There are four tax brackets: 1-$99 inclusive is taxed at 0.5%, $100 - $199 inclusive is taxed at 1%, and $200-$299 inclusive is taxed at 1.5%, and $300+ taxed at 2%. This is just an example keep in mind. If you make $120 then you are being taxed 0.5% for the 1-$99 inclusive. Any money you make above 99 dollars, as long as it’s less than $200 will be taxed at 1%. Any money you make above $199, as long as it’s less $300 will be taxed at 1.5%. Any money you make over $300 will be taxed at 2%. A progressive tax system means that the tax rates do not stack and rather your salary is being taxed certain amounts under certain brackets
Supports eliminating tax deductions on the highest-income earners and redirecting that money to low-income workers, seniors and disabled Canadians
Wants to create new tax brackets for the upper class and raise Canadian Corporate Tax (CCT). The current CCT changes on each type of Corporation but the net tax rate is 15%.
Supports $15/hr min wage.
Supports sales tax on SVOD providers (i.e. Netflix)
Supports UNIVERSAL PHARMA-CARE!!!
This part’s important because not every Canadian can afford certain medicines, especially the lower income Canadian.
The NDP has stated that by closing tax loopholes on the top 1% of Canada, they would be able to properly fund the universal pharmacare program
Promise to incentivize building 500,000 units of affordable housing by removing the federal tax burden on new affordable housing projects
Energy:
Wants to reduce carbon emissions of Canada to 30% of 2005 by 2025.
Implement a zero emissions vehicle agenda
Work on a “coal phaseout” program
Add tax subsidies to companies supporting ecology
Building renewable energy grid
Wants dedicated parliament officers to keep mandated reports on the provinces and territories emissions use
Opposes the Trans Mountain Pipeline (TMP)
Environment:
Build charging stations for electric vehicles at federal buildings and Canada Post locations
$600 incentive to install their own plug-in charger at home.
Social Issues:
Advocates for equality
Supports the legislation for a federal ban on carding
For those who don’t know what carding is: here is a link
Wants to ban the mandatory minimum sentencing rules introduced by the Conservatives, saying that the law has not reduced crime in the slightest and has a disproportionate impact on racialized communities
Wants to allow cities to ban handguns, something neither the Liberals or Conservatives have worked towards
SUPPORTS THE LGBTQ and LGBTQ RIGHTS
Wants the RCMP to include an LGBTQI2S+ competency training to ensure that any interaction with an officer is not stigmatizing or traumatizing.
Wants to bring in a form of affirmative action for hiring LGBTQ people and supports more inclusive shelters and transitional housing spaces in service of the LGBTQ youth
Wants to Health Canada to research the needs and experience of LGBTQ patients and advocated for policy changes allowing people to self-declare their gender
WANTS TO REPEAL THE BAN ON BLOOD, TISSUE AND ORGAN DONATION BY MEN WHO HAVE MLM INTERCOURSE OR TRANS-WOMEN WHO HAVE INTERCOURSE WITH MEN
Final Thoughts:
I support Singh and the NDP with every fiber of my being. While I will concede that they do not have a foreign policy, I will argue that taking care of the problems of Canada, such as the social issues of systemic racism, poor pharma care, and unaffordable housing take more priority of foreign policy.
That is not to say that foreign policy is not important, it is something that can be addressed along national policy as long as we are helping the less fortunate Canadians.
I will argue that the TMP will help the Canadian Economy one hell of alot, however, given the current global climate situation, I don’t think now is a good time for it. I’m not saying we CAN’T, I’m say that now is not the right time.
My respect for Singh skyrocketed after he called out a Bloc-Quebecois member for being racist in parliament. For context, Singh called upon parliament to recognize that systemic racism exists in the RCMP, and everyone except one Bloc member said yes. Singh called him a racist and was removed from the room.
Singh is the only leader in Canadian politics that I truly believe can fix alot of Canada’s problems, and can work with other parties to help ensure a Canada that lives up to what everyone thinks of it.

SEX, SIN AND 69 - trailer
Canada, 2019, 75 min documentary
In June 1969, Canada made the monumental decision to decriminalize homosexuality nationwide. Now, more than 50 years later, contemporary queer voices from across the country share their thoughts and experiences about living as a young queer person amid these changes. While the legislation was put into action across Canada, prejudice against the LGBTQI2S community didn’t stop immediately. This film expands on how this historical act overshadowed the misconceptions of how the legislation affected the more vulnerable members of LGBTQI2S communities.

Hi! Do you have any links or information about what the NDP will do for LGBTQA and mentally ill folks? thanks so much!
Upholding LGBTQI2S+ rights
Although Canada has made important strides in upholding LGBTQI2S+ rights, there is more work to be done to improve the lives of LGBTQI2S+ Canadians and make Canada a country where everyone can live free from hate and bias.
One of the most significant setbacks of recent years is the Liberals’ decision to maintain the discriminatory ban on blood donation by men who have sex with anyone assigned male at birth. We need behaviour-based screening rather than policies that discriminate against an entire sexual orientation. A New Democrat government will end the discriminatory blood ban and put in place policies based in public health evidence to secure the blood supply.
When it comes to sexual orientation and gender expression, damaging practices such as so-called “conversion therapy” have no place in Canada. We will develop a national action plan to ban conversion therapy for minors in Canada, and work with provinces and territories to support eliminating this practice in all parts of the country.
Access to gender confirming procedures and medication can be life-saving for some transgender people. New Democrats will work with the provinces to make sure that there is equal access to gender confirming surgery across the country, and that these procedures and medications are covered by public health plans.
New Democrats believe that Canada has a unique and important role to play in helping LGBTQI2S+ refugees around the world. We will establish a clear and permanent path for resettlement of LGBTQI2S+ refugees in Canada to replace the current piecemeal approach that only deals with emergency cases as they arise.
We can also do more to end employment discrimination faced by members of the LGBTQI2S+ community. A New Democrat government will add sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression to the Employment Equity Act in order to address the disadvantages experienced by the LGBTGQ2+ community – and particularly transgender people – in finding work.
And:
[…]Our vision of Canada is one where women’s organizations have stable funding so that women can access the support and advocacy they need, when they need it. We’ll develop a National Action Plan to end gender-based violence, backed by funding to ensure that shelter services and other programs are available in all regions of the country, especially areas that have traditionally been underserved. New Democrats will promote domestic violence leave policies in workplaces, improve police training on sexual assault, and require universities to develop plans to end sexual violence on campus. And we’ll address violence against Indigenous women, girls, and LGBTQI2S+ people by working with Indigenous peoples to implement the Calls for Justice of the National Inquiry.
And:
Extending Medicare to cover services you need
[…]
There’s a lot more to do to modernize our health system for today’s needs. Mental health support is an enormous unmet need across the country; a third of Canadians struggling with mental health challenges who have expressed a need for counselling weren’t able to get it. Eye check-ups are important for preventing vision loss and identifying other health issues – yet many, particularly children and seniors, don’t get regular eye care, or struggle to pay for the glasses that they need to function.
New Democrats believe that we need to work towards health care that covers us from head to toe. Mental health care should be available at no cost for people who need it, and everyone should be able to get regular eye care and hearing care. Canadians struggling with infertility should also have access to the procedures and care they need, no matter which province or territory they live in.
The long-term path to providing public coverage for these services will require strong federal re-investment in our health system with the knowledge that investing in preventative health services will ultimately save money and give Canadians the care they need to live healthy, full lives.
And:
[…]Mental health matters, and too many Canadian farmers are living with high levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. We can do more to provide targeted help. A New Democrat government will bring together farmers and the provinces to develop a national strategy to address mental health challenges facing farmers and to ensure that farmers can get the help they need, when they need it.
And:
[…]Poor health and poverty are linked and a national pharmacare program will mean that all Canadians can access the prescription medicine they need, regardless of their income, or address. Better access to mental health and addictions support will also form a key part of our approach to tackling poverty.
And:
[…]A New Democrat government will make mental health support for members and their families a priority. No member or veteran of the Canadian Forces should ever feel that they are all alone in dealing with the impact of their experiences or in transitioning to civilian life. They – and their families – need to know that their country and their government has their back, during their service and for the rest of their lives.
And:
[…]We will make sure that people can get the treatment they need in their community through investments in Indigenous health care infrastructure and diagnostic equipment. We will work in partnership with Indigenous communities to improve access to mental health and addiction treatment services – including an evidence-based action plan to prevent suicide, backed by dedicated federal resources, fully implementing the New Democrat motion on suicide prevention passed by the House of Commons.
And:
Confronting the opioid public health emergency
Across Canada, eleven Canadians die every day from opioid-related causes. Tens of thousands of families have tragically lost parents, partners, siblings, and children to the out-of-control opioid crisis. Every part of the country has been impacted by these highly addictive and dangerous drugs, from our busiest downtown neighbourhoods to the most remote communities. And too often, the impacts are even worse for the most vulnerable and marginalized people.
Despite the obvious harm that these drugs are causing and the shocking death toll that they’ve caused, over the last four years the Liberal government has failed to mobilize an effective response. They have not declared a public health emergency, nor taken any steps to investigate the role that drug companies may have played in fuelling the crisis. The federal government is lagging behind the urgent action being taken by provinces like British Columbia.
New Democrats believe that there is much more we can do to save lives and support those struggling with opioids. In government, we will declare a public health emergency and commit to working with all levels of government, experts, and Canadians to end the criminalization and stigma of drug addiction, so that people struggling with addiction can get the help they need without fear of arrest, while getting tough on the real criminals - those who traffic in and profit from illegal drugs. We’ll work with the provinces to support overdose prevention sites and expand access to treatment on demand for people struggling with addiction. We will also launch an investigation into the role drug companies may have played in fueling the opioid crisis, and seek meaningful financial compensation from them for the public costs of this crisis.
And:
[…]New Democrats believe that we must do better. Just as our party led the fight to establish universal public health care for all Canadians, we are leading the fight to expand Medicare – to include quality prescription drug coverage for everyone, regardless of your job, where you live, your age, your health status, or how much money you make.
We will begin working with the provinces right away to target a late 2020 start date, with an annual federal investment of $10 billion.That means access to necessary medicines in the same way that we have access to medical and hospital care – free at the point of care, financed by a public insurance system that covers everyone. It means that you’ll need your health card – not your credit card – at the pharmacy till. And it puts an end to costly co-payments, deductibles and premiums that cost families hundreds and even thousands a year.
Our plan will guarantee that every Canadian can get the medication they need. And it will mean big savings for employers who currently pay for employee benefits, helping to reward good employers and boost economic growth. It will also cost our system less overall as a result of pooling the purchasing power of the entire country.
Most importantly, our pharmacare plan will mean a healthier Canada where no one has to make the impossible choice between the medicine they need and other essentials, like rent and food.

The prof for one of my gender studies classes keeps referring to the LGBT community as the "LGBTQI2S+ community"; both saying it and on paper. And I just...it's a lot to deal with in the mornings.

“You can’t fight bigotry with more bigotry”
@nihilisticsavage 
I don’t know if the context eluded you but Lily is flipping the script of what people usually say about us LGBTQI2S+ people to be about straight people to make a point.
Said point being, it’s ridiculous and it sounds ridiculous and there have never been any new arguments in favour of homophobia, ever. 
“Ew straight people” is not and will never be equivalent to what straight cis people do to our community, full stop, and is not bigotry.

fun fact *most* of our problems come from the lgbtqi2+ community because straights are like “oh ok thats valid” so if you're not a cishet honestly u need to shut the fuck up and listen to especially aro but also ace people because we are spiteful about what you tried to do to us. but guess what bitch. WE'RE STILL FUCKING HERE.
Honestly as much as I love Tumblr now, I’ll never forgive this site for the “ace discourse” era that nobody has ever fucking apologized for. Irreparable damage was done to aro/ace people and our communities and now that shit is being recycled on TikTok. And then aphobes have the gall to say “well it’s not like you guys have ever faced any hardship in your lives” as if they still don’t bully and discriminate against aro/ace people to this day.
Go rot.

Currently recruiting writers for canon characters, and auditioning for a Sole Survivor!
Welcome to Fallout: A New Hope for the Commonwealth! This is a new, developing roleplay server set in the Commonwealth, succeeding the events of Fallout 4. Come join us and help further build our lore and story, or just get a headstart on the roleplay!
The year is 2290. Over 200 years have passed since the Great War, a fiery conflict that decimated the world and its governments in a matter of hours. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts was once overrun by raiders, feral ghouls, and supermutants, in part orchestrated by the interference of the shadowy Institute. However, since the emergence of the Sole Survivor 3 years ago, the region has begun to stabilize and enter an era of relative peace. But how long can this last? And what part did the Sole Survivor play, exactly? It’s up to you to decide.
- not NSFW, but 18+ only due to themes and content - original and canon characters welcome (currently auditioning for a Sole Survivor!) - open-ended lore and story to encourage collaboration in world-building - LGBTQI2S+ friendly environment

Visibility in the City Public Art Exhibition: Open Artist Call  
Submission Deadline: April 27th
Curated and facilitated by Coral Plaza 
Six artists will be selected to show original printed artworks on public advertising space in downtown Amiskwaciy Waskahikan, treaty 6, (Edmonton, Alberta). We will utilize commercial portable signs normally used for consumer advertisements to display the artists artworks. The exhibition will run from July 15 -August 14, 2021.
Artists will be provided an artist fee of $1000 CAD, alongside a $300 CAD material budget. 
Marginalized and queer artists often exist on the peripherals of societal structures and out of necessity create safe spaces in the underground and away from the public eye. This project aims to share power and amplify the voices of queer and marginilized artists. Within the same structures that presently do not serve BIPOC and LGBTQI2+ individuals, we propose to subvert these structures and turn them into spaces that will give the artists agency.
Theme: A future glimpse of equal visibility
What does public art mean to you?
What should public spaces be used for?
How would a world look and feel with equal visibility? 
How can your art practice challenge the current unbalanced realities?
Who Can Apply 
Artists based in the Amiskwaciy Waskahikan, treaty 6 (Edmonton area) 
All ages and educational backgrounds 
We are open to artists working in mediums which can be translated into print
Examples may include but is not limited to: Painting, printmaking, sculpture (photographed), poetry, text art, film stills, drawings, installation (photographed), graphic design, photography, mixed media, performance, textiles, fashion design, new media 
Application Guidelines
Artists are asked to propose an idea for a new artwork made in response to the theme
Project description / idea proposal max 500 words pdf file 
Maximum 10 Images of previous/proposed works (formats : jpeg, pdf, png, zip, online link)
Artist CV and/or Artist Bio pdf file 
How to Apply 
Submission documents can be emailed to:  [email protected]
An additional artist submission form to be filled out can be found at 
Artists will be notified no later than May 14th 
In creating this exhibition our motive is to always shine a light on the less heard voices within the arts community. We believe it is vital to share power equally; amplifying the artists that will shape our future by building connections to grow a stronger and more visible community

Sigil honors the wisdom and voices of Indigenous Americans. Today, 5% of all web sales will be donated to the Native American Rights Fund. NARF (@nativeamericanrightsfund) protects the rights of Native Americans by holding federal and state governments to their legal obligations, consulting policymakers, and helping shape legislation. An additional 5% of all web sales from today will be donated to Bay Area American Indian Two-Spirits. BAAITS (@baaits_sf) is a community-based volunteer organization offering culturally relevant activities, support, and resources for LGBTQI2 Native Americans. The term Two-Spirit was affirmed by consensus at the third annual Native American/First Nations gay and lesbian conference in Winnipeg. The decision was deliberate, with a clear intention to differentiate from non-Native LGBTQI terminology. It is an umbrella term that bridges Indigenous and Western understandings of gender and sexuality, describing how individuals may naturally possess and manifest both masculine and feminine spiritual qualities. The term is non-transferable to other cultures. We encourage you to learn more about NARF and BAAITS. You can donate directly via the link in both organizations’ Instagram bios. Learning from and amplifying Indigenous voices matters. Tagged here are four artists and activists that inspire us. Photos: 1 and 2. We'wha—a Zuni Native American from New Mexico—was a notable fiber artist, weaver and potter. 3. Kent Monkman (@kentmonkman), a visual and performance artist of Cree ancestry. His work recasts historical narratives through video, painting, and installation. Monkman identifies as both queer and Two-Spirit and often channels themes of sexuality and identity in his art. 4. Sydney Freeland (@sydneyfreeland), a trans woman raised on a Navajo reservation in New Mexico. Her film work is fueled by the lack of queer Native representation in media. 5. Chelsey Luger (@chelsey.moves) is a journalist, athlete and cofounder of @wellforculture, a grassroots initiative created to reclaim and revitalize Indigenous health and wellness. 6. James Jones (@notoriouscree), an Indigenous hoop dance artist and TikTok creator from Alberta, Canada. https://www.instagram.com/p/CIDu1K7n8Sz/?igshid=119b5yl5jxzqw
