As a reminder, if you're struggling with day to day things like housing, cost of living, education, healthcare access, etc., those would fall under your provincial leadership's duties.
Feds can assist provinces, but if your conservative provincial government is misspending, underspending, making side deals with their buddies, and forcing municipalities to make bad decisions, then change your provincial leadership vote.
A lot of the "fuck Trudeau" people in Ontario, should really be angry at Ford (the guy they voted for twice...). 😵
But but... what about muh "Fuck Turdeau" t-shirt. I just paid 60 CAD to the Ford reelection campaign for it!
That's just it. I mean the Liberals aren't really super appealing either. It would help if Trudeau wasn't an elitist little turd. But oh my God the conservative option, it's just not an option. Unless you are a low key white nationalist, god fearing, system destroyer who actively supports enriching people who aren't of their social economic class.
The irony is also not lost on me, that the most fervent supporters of these new Con hacks, are the very same people that have the most to lose all the social and economic support systems are ripped up. All to be transfered into some richy rich's company in a single source contract deal that wasn't put to tender. But I mean fuck that Trudeau, I'm going trucking!!
Most Ontarians didn't bother voting in the last provincial election. Evidently most of them don't actually care who runs their province or what the province's role is.
They could've elected Lesley Knope from Parks and Rec, or they could've elected an obscure Jim Henson Muppet, but instead they elected Peter Griffin. None were great choices but only one was an actual moron and that's who they picked.
Maybe some day the Liberals or NDP will field someone with enough personality to get Ontario to care enough to vote.
Anyway, your post sent me off on a tangent, but if you couldn't guess, I'm in complete agreement.
Canadians are being convinced that their problems are due to the Federal government rather than the Provincial governments where much of these issues fall and it's going to get a lot of people fucked over very badly.
