The one and only reason I voted PPC and will probably continue to do so is the 150k/y migration policy as compared to the ~400k/y libcon policy. Just to slow the tide and buy us more time to form a permanent solution
Brexit managed to happen. It wasn't perfect but nothing ever is.
Is the system broken? Yes. We may not see any real improvement in our lifetimes.
There is some hope in the USA - not as it is today but in a Balkanized form where a few states allow for a capitalist system.
There is no going back to 20th century Western Civ. Technology has made that impossible. Internet, 5G, IoT, AI, etc, all of this will try to enslave mankind.
Bernier will blow yet another opportunity by running unvetted far-right crazies in ridings across the country, further destroying the parties reputation as an alternative to the CPC.
As if Trump winning would have changed things magically. What finkelthinkel said about Bernier and the flood of corporate money is and was also true with Trump.
US secretary of finance -> Goldman Sachs banker
US secretary of commerce -> Rothschild banker
These people then renegotiated things like NAFTA. And yet somehow this new "fair" trade deal for American almost doubled the trade deficit with Mexico in just 4 years. The biggest increase under any president. Politicians, including people like Bernier, Trump and Co spew right wing populist slogans while their cabinet is staffed with cronies.
Money makes the world run and if they can sell you only a good sounding idea without merit, they will charge you twice for it.
You're not wrong that money controls a lot, and what money doesn't contol, blackmail can.
Some things Trump was able to change - decreased cost of gas for example, now it's higher than it ever was.
But if the swamp is deep in DC, rest assured it's even deeper and swampier in Ottawa. It's basically a quicksand cesspool at this point, with all of canada getting sucked in.

The PPC is nothing but a grift at this point.

Nowhere near the record high.
