For those that seek a future that brings together the best of the insights and objectives of people who, within the social democratic and democratic socialist traditions, have worked through farmer, labour, co-operative, feminist, human rights and environmental movements, and with First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples, to build a more just, equal, and sustainable Canada within a global community dedicated to the same goals.

I get what you are saying. Any major change will affect the status quo. I want to change the status quo. Do "stocks" even mean anything anymore now that the market is so manipulated? We need a better system, starting with owning our own stuff again. We need the government to be the people again not have a mindset like "this is something that will never come from the government". We are the government.
A good case study is the CRTC. We have the worst communication fees of any developed nation, despite having donated Nortel to the world (...), specifically because the CRTC is a plaything of the communications cartel. This has been notoriously ongoing for decades and only gets monotonically worse. If you know what to do about this situation, I'm game.
