In Nova Scotia, I've had the disgusting privilege of watching our grassroots Politicians be slaughtered 1 by 1 in each of the Federal Parties. While I didn't share some of their political views, their views were at least genuine and grounded in their ridings. Those candidates were replaced with fucking bobbleheads & airheads.
The CPC here were in rough shape after the Harper/MacKay exit and virtually became non-existent, even as opposition. Scheer and O'Tool have furthered their demise and ensured no viable Candidates exist.
The NPD Candidates here who had any worth were shoved out when JugMeat came in as Leader. Their exits were not pretty and their replacements were literal NPC's.
The LPC in the last round lost Candidates who had Values based off their actual ridings.
Even the fucking Green Party had more rational people here before this radical attack on Candidates who actually support the views of their constituents began.
It has been very obvious that ANY CANDIDATE we have in Nova Scotia who actually represents the views of their constituents is forcefully shown the door, regardless of the Party.
I can only be told, first hand, so many times "I can't talk about it, legally" before I begin to believe this is a well orchestrated assassination of any Candidate who dares represent the People over the Party System.
We HAD great People in Nova Scotia, who were loyal to their Constituents, in all Parties. Now we have NPC'S, everywhere.
Yup but at least you used to know your Candidates had your back in NS. With that gone, it's a bleak outlook.
The Political options are bleak but I am pretty happy with the population as a whole.
