I’m looking forward to getting fucked over harder than ever with this diabetic maestro once again in charge of milking this province of everything we have to give his rich buddies our money.

Can’t wait!

All donations to political parties should be illegal and considered bribes. All money to political parties should come from membership fees.

Per-vote subsidies are also a legit, fair, and non-corrupt way to empower our democratic institutions, while shutting out dark money.
