Dear world: Please stop electing nutty assholes with bad hair.

It’s a complete lack of politicians of merit. Who even ran against him last election? Some forgeattable candidate that fails to make any sort of waves. This seems like a big issue in Canada, proper opposition has vanished from this country

There was lots of merit. That's not what you're talking about. Voters are not interesting in merit. Intelligent policy doesn't attract the attention of the Ontario voter. Buck a beer, fucking over cyclists, and punching randos in a parking lot does.

My biggest issue with Canadian politicians is that they go out of their way to avoid talking about cost of living, food prices, rent, transit, etc.

Al they do is argue about logging contracts, intentional incidents and wars, and worry about how to take care of citizens of other countries primarily India, while never actually caring about Canadian every day issues

Vote NDP! Captured parties don't talk about that because it's not in the interests of their patrons.

Oh Jesus, the ndp? Talk about a party that completely imploded and shit the bed

Stiles had style, I don’t know what you’re talking about.

The least believable part of this story is Ford being in a retail parking lot. I do believe he would try to be our own real-life Javert.

Politicians are supposed to represent the interests of the people, not of corporations yet here he is, threatening to beat a member of the public he serves for daring to steal from a massive retailer.

Maybe people wouldn't need to steal if corporations paid more tax so we could fund support programs?

No proof of the person stealing.
