    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.
