Andrew Jackson, the chief economist of the Canadian Labour Congress, a research associate with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and lifelong NDP member, has declared that he may have to do a rethink.  As we have been saying, the Green Party platform is both bolder and more fair on the one hand, and more economical and efficient on the other.
