Not surprised at all. They just want us to get angry and vote the current government out.

I hope people learned from Ontario but probably not.

This is what our "democracy" has morphed into .... we are no longer told who to vote for .... we are instead told who NOT to vote for.

All to ensure that we never actually talk to the person we do vote for. "Oh, yeah, the problems are totally a result of you chosing the wrong party and not because the person you elected isn't a mind reader and was left to guess about what you wanted."

I mean you can talk to the people you elect, it just doesn't do anything. I talked to my MPP just the other day about if he would support back to work legislation for teachers, they've been working for over a year without a contract and all he would say about is "we're trying to keep students in the classroom". He never did give me a straight answer about it.

That's just pruning the worse ideas until we have a clear last-loser.

We should not have people voting on a single issue (for the cons, it's whether corporations and rich people should continue to skate on their tax obligation) but "people vs monoliths" is kinda it.

I hope people learned from Ontario but probably not.

Learned to not elect the federal Progressive Conservatives? I think they learned that back in 2002. Remember, the party gave up after that?
