My image is that they'd be satisfied if everyone were a Starbucks barista.

Note to NDP brass, and to borrow from Clinton... "It's the economy, stupid!"
One can't pay for cleaner environmental initiatives, unless one first has a job.
And it's jobs that generate tax revenue for a government, to pay for such initiatives.
Why is this concept so difficult for some of the LEAF manifesto crowd to absorb?
