[overboard]

I'd like to see higher taxes, increased services, and a few nationalized industries, personally. I'm a bit tired of funneling money to private CEOs and international corporations when the government could fill many roles more fully (because of legislative power), efficiently (because of scale - pharmacare, for instance), and with better employee pay and benefits. Shortcomings in services don't mean government doesn't work, but that there are improvements to make. An attitude of fixing, rather than slashing and burning, would be nice.

I don't know many displaced newfies who would choose not to come home over a few percentage points in taxes,
