It's easy to make every promise to everybody when you know you literally have zero chance of ever needing to fulfil them.

You can pay the flight attendants fairly. It’s not an insurmountable task.

I don't disagree. My larger point was that the Greens and the NDP can spend their time checking off promises for every niche issue that only affects a few people. They can literally have thousands of little promises to small groups because there's no expectation that they'll ever win the leadership and actually have to come through on them.

You act like the liberals and conservatives do not engage in this behaviour. It’s what political parties do… make promises to groups…
