I wonder what would happen if he announced tomorrow that he had a really good acid trip the other day and came to the conclusion that what the government must do is abandon the F-35 jet fighter deal, stop subsidizing oil companies, stop subsidizing car companies, stop pretending that rapid population growth is good for us, nationalize most of the telecom sector, get serious about fighting back the power of the other oligopolies that run most of the country, double the carbon tax, cut the income tax, eliminate most of the deductions that make it so complex, tax capital gains at the same rate as other income, consult with economic experts willing to design an effective regime for preventing businesses from growing too large, renew efforts for electoral reform, cancel all the bad Internet bills, fund electrified passenger rail transport, and run all government systems with 100% free software.

I'd ask where can we get some more of that acid so we can forcefeed it to other politicians lol. Undermining the sovereignty of someone over their consciousness is not usually something I'm down with, but look at all the benefits you listed XD

If hallucinogens are illegal, the sovereignty of your mind has already been undermined =o

what would happen

I'd probably vote for his party on the chance that some of this would come to pass.

We need a referendum to compel Trudeau to take ALL the hallucinogenic drugs, right now.

I mean he's not winning the election anyway, may as well go for it.

I think this platform is exactly the sort of thing that millennial politicians will be pushing for. So we'll see it in maybe 10-15 years.
