The problem is that the only time most Canadians will get involved in politics is on election day. After that it is back to usual. Who cares about politics. They will say that they have more important things to do like mall shopping, go party, go to the bar or go watch on TV or go to some sporting event going on. When was the last time that you sat down with friends or family and spent sometime talking about politics? Maybe you have for five minutes or so and then a political war would start and one would have to get back to what the weather will be like tomorrow. I know that politics stinks but it must be talked about also when we have politicians being allowed to continue to run and rule all of our lives with their so many programs and agendas that the majority of Canadians never asked for or need. It's bloody sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the above is necessary Putting an X next to some candidates name is just asking for another five years of screwing in the butt by that candidate if they get elected. They tell you that they care about you and me and want to make our lives better but after they get elected it is back to business as usual. They will tell you to bend over butt face and take my I don't give a chit just rewards deposit up the you know what. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bloody sad. It's my impression that many people just believe that all politicians and political parties are the same and that it's pointless to worry about it because nothing will change in any case. Many people are more motivated to vote against a leader or party than anything else. In the last election, I couldn't support Harper anymore but thought Trudeau a dolt and a phony, so I reluctantly voted for the NDP candidate in my riding, whom I quite admired. I think we need proportional representation combined with more direct democracy allowing us an actual say on controversial matters. Trudeau theatrically promised electoral reform and I didn't believe for a moment that he'd follow through. But some people I know did. And look at what happened. Is it any wonder that so many are completely cynical and tune the whole thing out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
