Election results reject anti-social economics

Even if the Canadian federal election results were mixed according to region an demographics, so muting support for a wall to wall social economy it's clear that neoliberalism and social conservatism were rejected in favour of  social investment, climate action and inclusion, though to different degrees and in different ways. For TorontotheBetter and other social economy supporters our challenge must be to make "nice to haves" into "must haves" as happened in the past with pensions, education and, most famously, medicare. Rights to clean air, clean water, healthy food, and free transit must be the next progressive regulatory agenda, and more and more, particularly the  young, are demanding them. Originally private organizations brought many of these issues to pubic prominence but to make their benefits available to all, not just a well-off few will require government action in the form of regulation.
