In the case of a referendum I'd be far more worried about the well funded right-wing disinformation apparatus that will kick it's grift into high gear.

Brexit was heavily influenced by the same machinery, except it's grown more sophisticated since that time.

1% sounds about right given who benefits from the kinds of policies she advicates for ๐Ÿคท

It's a minority doing it, but they couldn't possibly win an election so they spend billions to grift the lower rungs of society.

Without the griftee's the grifters couldn't do what they do, and that's a wrap of US history ๐Ÿคท

I've heard the PEI separatists are calling for a high speed potato-conveyor tube to transport potatoes for shippment to China.

They'll call it the Trans Canada Potatube. And it'll only cost $35 billion and never recoup it's costs.

What exactly are they worried about letting come into Canada?

This feels very authoritarian, like hunrting randomly through trunks for people trying to escape...

Or there was a criminal afair they were trying to capture ๐Ÿคท

You in Carleton, saved us from his ๐Ÿฆฌ๐Ÿ’ฉ. Even if it doesn't last long, I appreciate it greatly.

Yup, the Conservatives love to glorify local representation while being the party of the iron whip; ensuring the local "representation" is basically non-existant.

We need electoral reform, and a neutering of the party system ๐Ÿซค

Without suffering, there is no art.

Hmmm, it's like they're all rich and know that in the end it'll be fine for them under a fascist regime?

I'm not an American, but I have to give the Trump supporters they are right about one thing: the Democrats do not seem interested in fixing their problems. Trump's just honest about it ๐Ÿคท

It's utterly baffling.

Ignorance knows no bounds ๐Ÿ™„

Indeed, add in all the religious meddling in educational curriculum and you've got a recipie for an ignorant population.

The best wage slaves work 100hr/week without complaint ๐Ÿคท

Think of it this way: investment bankers work themselves to an early grave while the truly rich lounge in their opulent wealth.

At least average people (at least where I'm from) only suffer 40hr/w of pointless labour, so we still have some free time to enjoy.

But yes, Indian education sounds intense ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ
