    “I want DOGE to exist in Canada,”

    Wow, I thought they were trying to be subtle about it. Well hopefully this backfires badly for them.

      Canadians keep voting for Conservatives. Conservatives can’t be trusted not to sell the country out for personal profit.

        With Drug Fraud’s election Ontario will be Canada’s bellwether for what can (or will) happen.

          Our healthcare system is already struggling badly. Voters just opted to finish it off. I don’t understand it when you only have to look next door to see the effects of healthcare privatization.

            Manitoba’s healthcare system is far better than it was 2 years ago, thanks to us electing the NDP back into power.

            Other provinces should think about that before voting in Cons/UCP again.

            People are selfish. They think they’ll be able to afford privatized health care (and maybe some of them will), but mostly I think people just don’t give a fuck about anyone but themselves, especially during difficult economic times. They genuinely don’t understand that this is the cheaper option, or maybe they’re just that desperate to find a doctor.

            The American election proved how selfish people are at their core and I’m terrified, but pretty certain, that our own will also prove the point.

            It seems irrational. Only a fraction of the electorate actually voted PC. So instead of blaming the voters, it’s important to recognize the inability of the other parties to inspire voters. Not ideal to focus on leaders but that’s what works in our system. They need someone with charisma and (perceived) integrity. Manitoba pulled it off with Wab Kinew. Jack Layton did well. Trudeau early on.
