Our biggest concern should be the foreign interference report. Once we have that out of the way, I'm happy to go to an election. It is important to know the degree to which our democracy has been compromised before moving ahead, especially now that the Zuck has decided to open the sewer pipes on Meta.

I'm actually relieved we can wait until the dust settles a bit in the USA, after the crazy orange man has had to face the damage done by his initial directives, and see what our political leaders have to say about it before casting my vote.

It was always like this with the party. It’s as unsurprising as it is infuriating.

Their only loyalty has been to power and the status quo. It’s what the professional managerial class does, they serve the interests of the bosses and keep the workers placated so they don’t make their jobs hard.

When viewed through this lens, the actions of the Liberal party are entirely predictable.

I agree that Justin should have gone down with his sinking ship. The next Liberal leader will be a Prime Minister stuck with a party facing decimation, and then have to rebuild. Did he do this to screw over the Liberal party that has rejected him? He has a hell of an ego.

So does Canada hate the Liberals because of the state Canada is in or because Trudeau stayed on even though he was hated? I'm not joking when I ask this.

This Canadian at least hates the Liberals because of the state Canada is in.

They have had a decade to transform this Country into one that is prepared to face the upcoming crises.

Instead they just sat there tinkering with means tested programs and let every single other crisis get worse.

By now we should have:

1. Universal dental/pharmacare

2. Something other than first past the post elections

3. Nationalized energy sector and associated sovereign wealth fund like Norway

4. A surplus of definancialized housing

5. Reasonable taxes for the wealthy and corporations

Imagine how healthy and strong we would be as a nation if we decided not to be a client state to US corporate interests. Instead, we’ve just been served up for exploitation by the most voracious entities on the planet.
