It should be very clear to all that there is no way in which we can "cut" our way to prosperity. And many things *require* investment and direction that only Government can deliver. No invisible market hands are coming to fix things.

What I really love during election year and at every other time is think pieces by dudes framing pay equity as a choice/cost versus a basic inherent policy that any democracy should have as a given right - which also wouldn’t be framed as such if men were the ones primarily impacted by its absence.

Labour says it can fund pay equity and public services - its fiscal plan suggests it can't afford

Simply the best socio-economic policy anyone can vote for this election. If I was splitting hairs, I would say that the six months wait is about six months too long, but it's still a great start.
