    Plutocracy … government controlled by money.

    Democracy only exists as a fancy meaningless word because government seldom represents the will of the people.

    I’m an NDP supporter and I believe in people … neither the Liberals or the Conservatives will ever have the people’s interest at heart.

    Total speculation on my part - the Liberals are terrified of the polling numbers and the NDP have been a little more aggressive with their criticisms of the Liberals that the Liberals are worried the NDP will drop their support and we’ll have a spring election. By dragging their feet on these NDP priorities they’re trying to keep the NDP from withdrawing support.

    Thats the thing about majority governments, you don’t really get to say shit like that, I don’t think. Are they being good-faith about—nah they’re all liars and thieves. And murders of decency

    The story of Canadian politics, nothing for Canadians, everything for foreign citizens. It’s nothing but foreign affairs and scandals, and our government shipping money to other nations, while Canadians drown in the rising costs of everything with zero help from the government.

      Unless fossil fuel corporations count as foreign citizens now because of dumb American Supreme Court shenanigans then I think you’ve gotten turned around there, bud.
