I am simply astounded at how god awfully shitty all of the candidates are.
Is there something going on in politics that I am not seeing? It seems all elections in North America lately have had just completely beyond useless individuals leading the parties.
Scheer, Trudeau, Clinton, Trump, Sanders, Harper, etc etc.
While I like Harper, his time had certainly come. So why the fuck are all party leaders so awful? While lots of people say things (that I agree with) about Paul Martin, Jean Chretien, and Brian Mulroney, one thing that can't be argued (I feel) is that they led, and were not nearly as toxic and in general poor at running the country.
The same can be said for the likes of people in the USA like Bill Clinton (his thoughts/policies back then compared to now are drastically different).
Which leads into the Ontario election; Ford, Wynne, and Horwath.
Ford is a clusterfuck (if anybody can be compared to Trump, he is literally a spitting image in most ways, loose cannon, no ideology at all pure populism, and campaigning on business sense when his business is in ruins, plus additionally being sued), the Liberals might lose official party status, but get this, Ontario folk are so upset at a liberal government that they may try and elect a full blown socialist one (and unlike the few warning signs the media dug up on the NDP here, they actually did their job and uncovered all sorts of craziness already that is in the Ontario NDP). Even though they already can't afford the Liberal policies as it is, the NDP has said it WILL raise taxes further AND spend more money and run deficits while the economy is booming :nut:
Like what?
