    which yeah, he’s not following

    ok so then Canadians got scammed and should be critiquing this government rather than continually re-litigating an election that happened 18 months ago. Corporations understand that elections are only a small part of how governments are influenced. Time for regular folks to wake up to this fact too.

      I’m not saying you can’t criticize this government.

      I’m disagreeing with the statement “LPC voters should be ashamed”. That’s a bad take. We should be angry, but I don’t see a world in which I should be ashamed for picking the best option of the few available.

      I’ve written my MP with how unhappy I am with the party in specifics, and how much I’ve donated, and that I’m no longer supporting or donating. Until there’s someone I can support, this is the action I can take.

      I tried getting involved supporting someone who wanted to run for the NDP, but they got passed over and basically harassed by Avi Lewis jackasses. So I have tried, and I feel like all the parties are kinda hugely shit.

        you continue to bring this back to an electoral framing. If you are upset with what the government is doing then say that. The “oh no but who else was there” is the excuse that Carney supporters are soothing themselves with because they don’t want to admit they got hoodwinked. Some of us were calling out Carney’s real goals prior to the election and were shouted down mercilessly by people reacting to Trump
