Canadian Politics Redux

Go swim across Sasamat for me!

Now back to politics... hmmm....

We're still stuck with 3 parties and 3 leaders, none of which really have a plan or idea to solve most of the current problems.   I predict that regardless of who wins the 2025 election, when the term ends, they'll have left Canada in worse shape than they inherited it   Mostly because I'm deep in my 40s now, and I don't recall too many of governments actually improving much of anything.

Yep.  I have zero faith. Hope... all lost. To me what is needed is very drastic change. In order for change to happen, sacrifices would need to be made, concessions would need to be made.  Therein lies the problem. No one wants to admit their wrong. No party, no leader, and hardly any citizens these days.  Empathy and understanding... out the window. 

Private sector corporate mentality is no different... if anything kind of worse. Excess wealth, lying, corruption, exploitation... all with one purpose in mind:  Make things better for 'me' or 'us.'  'Us' as in our company. Politically.. 'us' as in party. 

In politics.. leaders lie through their skin daily to hoodwink people for votes. It's become so bad in Canada and on steroids in the States that an authentic politician would be utterly shocking.  They lie so much and so regularly that it has become remarkably accepted by the people.... and amongst other politicians... telling the truth would be way too dangerous to the establishment. 

Tony D'Amato said it best: "either we heal now, as a team... or we will die as individuals."

You would think the leader of the opposition would be required and want top security clearance.

I know it wouldn't exactly be practical, but these days, I think my idea of that would depend on who the leader of the opposition is, lol.
