  • It’s completely stupid and only plays to the most powerful and wealthy elite in this country … no matter if they are Liberal or Conservative

    The Liberals will keep promising things like proportional representation but never deliver on it … they’ll keep pandering to leftist ideals just enough to sway voters but never enough to follow through. They’ll keep playing the game of hoping that everyone will not go with Conservatives while balancing themselves to leaning right enough that no one will notice.

    I’m Indigenous Canadian and I grudgingly support the Liberals because they have done a lot for Indigenous Canada. They could do more but they always seem to hold back on everything … giving us just enough to keep us from completely revolting against them. We also know that the alternative of the Conservatives would mean we Indigenous people would lose just about everything we’ve gained in the past decade (which sounds like a lot but it isn’t … to non-Native Canada, any gain we achieve always feel like too much).

    In all, like every other first world country … we don’t exist in a democracy … we exist in a plutocracy or oligarchy where only the wealthy and most powerful people get to direct our national politics. People don’t have a say … those with money do.

    Always has been

    Always will

    But after our national ship we were living on hit that Middle Eastern iceberg and sank, you died because I didn’t want to help you and I survived with a million dollar necklace that I could have used to pay for a good life … but I just threw it away into the ocean after keeping it doing nothing with it for 60 years.
