I would love to see that. Forcing politicians to live off minimum wage or close to it would fix a lot, I bet. They would see how tough it can be for everyday people.

Based on Canadian voting history, we’ll flip flop between the conservatives and liberals until the end of time unless some kind of voting reform comes into place. The liberals were supposed to do that but didn’t.

I really wish we had some kind of ranked ballot system. I would rather vote for a third party, but even then, I question how much that would ultimately help. I feel like the people who get into positions of power often don’t prioritize the general population, but that’s my personal bias, and I have no idea what the actual statistics are on that.
Canadian government just wants mindless drones. They care about the general population as a resource.
If they cared, they wouldn’t have let things get like this, and they would actively be pursuing ways to make things better.
Edit: I should add voting reform would have been massive if the liberals followed through with that. As it stands now from my personal perspective, it’s the wealthy and powerful vs the general population.
