Some of the NDP election campaign goodies that are now being reviewed but not implemented:

The referendum on proportional representation;

Moving to a $15-an-hour minimum wage;

Cutting B.C. Ferries fares;

Implementing the $10-a-day child care plan;

Solving Metro Vancouver housing affordability crisis;

Instituting a $400 annual renters’ rebate;

Eliminating Medical Services Plan premiums;

Reforming Freedom of Information rules;

Building the Site C dam. Indexing disability rates to inflation;

Legislating poverty reduction targets;

Replacing the Massey tunnel;

and Taxing and legalizing marijuana.

Without a majority government, Shaw wrote the NDP doesn’t have an easy path to act on their promises.

“Unfortunately for the NDP, its platform assumed the party would win the 2017 election. It did not. Instead, with 41 New Democrats, 41 Liberals, three Greens, one independent MLA and one vacant seat, the NDP is only nominally in charge of governing with the agenda it promised voters,” he wrote.
