The NDP is proposing Victory Bond style measures.
What do you think?
"The plan would see the federal government offer five- and 10-year bonds that Canadians can buy through a payroll deduction.
"Money from Victory Bonds will be dedicated entirely to getting Canadians to work building public infrastructure like: roads, rail, housing, waterworks, ports, that we will own for generations," the party said in a statement.
"We are in a trade war, and just like other wars, we will use victory bonds to support the trade war effort."

This kinda seems motivated by vibes; that the "need" being addressed is for the NDP to look like it has big ideas. Not good...

#MMT describes what we already have whenever a currency issuer is spending on anything. Spending is first, taxing is later. Taxes are not for collecting money to have so that it can be spent.
Federal govt bonds of all kinds should just be abolished.
