A bold proposal from New York’s Zohran Mamdani is sparking interest north of the border. Experts say a Canadian public option is not only possible — it’s long overdue

    We have those in America already, they are called co-ops. This is the one in my area: https://www.honestweight.coop/ and https://www.niskayunaco-op.com/ . Mamdani’s proposal isn’t bold, it’s already been done, and there is no reason why they can’t be implemented in NYC.

      they are called coops

      No they are not.

      Of course coops exist in Canada but it’s not the same thing
