An Ode to Canadian politics

[size=12]

Quote:

It is through politics that we will choose the man who will lead us on the 150th anniversary of our birth as a nation. It is through politics that we will answer those questions about our governance, resources, wealth and welfare. It is through politics that we will decide what to do about our environment and our fellow man, about how we will care for our sick and how we will respond to the scourges of poverty and addiction. It is through politics that we will decide over the next two years who we are and who we think we can be. It is only through politics that those who seek change can hope to achieve it.

What a perfect asshole this "man" is. Sexist. Denier of indigenous nations and Québec. Bashing the poor (see his twin "scourges"). But worst of all - enemy of every real mass movement for change. Go home and yap about so-called "politics" for 2 years, then cast your meaningless ballot for some man, then go back home. We'll look after you, suckers. Just don't do a thing on your own.

Thanks for this, Brachina. It outlines the challenges very well.
