Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is pledging that a future government would cut what he calls ‘wasteful foreign aid’ and would not allow funding to go to ‘dictators, terrorists and multi-national bureaucracies.’

    Really? You have no idea? It’s pretty simple really, when you have one bag of hot air running the country for almost a decade, people are going to be open to any alternative even if it’s an objectively stupider and more dangerous bag of hot air.

    I consider myself a progressive and was happy when Trudeau kicked Harper out, but lately it almost feels like his party is trying to make the cons seem like the better option (which again, they objectively aren’t).

          Sigh is also not Trudeau, and a coalition NDP/Liberal government could do wonders to fix the middle and lower classes.

          But nah, vote for Poilivere and run us all into the ground as fast as we can, because Trudeau Bad I guess…

          We REALLY need to get money back into education and start some American conspiracy de-programming.

          Also worth mentioning that while there are no “good” options, there are certainly some options that are much worse than others.
