After seeing how cowardly, stupid, corrupt and lazy each and every provincial premiere and more or less everyone at the federal level of government is, I'm fuckin' convinced.
Seriously, could we have wound up with worse leaders in any other way? The way I see it if we had, say a constitutional monarchy like the country of Togo, our odds would still be about 85% of being better off since there's no way a government could handle things worse.
Exactly. It’s a huge, wasteful charade. Where I come from, we have next to no representation in Ottawa and the “values” touted as what makes us Canadian do not align with my personal, religious and political views. I am not an outlier, speaking with neighbors and real people in my circles, many share my views and disappointment with our leadership. A perfect example is the May OIC which banned legally acquired property because it makes some pablum covered leftists feel safer
