From the article:

Tragically, all of this only came to light after people began dying.

…so that’s not fuckin’ great.

I don’t understand how anyone who makes less than a million a year can vote conservative.

“We vow to remove your nationalised healthcare, gut your education programs, destroy labour regulations, destroy consumer protection regulations, destroy family and childcare programs.”

And there is a solid 30-40% of Canadians who say “OMG I’m going to save 500$ on taxes, what a deal!”

Absolutely astonishing.

The average conservative voter has minimal education and doesn’t actually make that much. They rely on manipulating this crowd with rage farming on social media, and because they won’t question what they are told, they will largely believe it on the surface and tell their friends. North American “conservatives” are like a virus that spreads like a convoy.

My old foreman always voted Tory, for exactly that reason. Never did understand why he was getting less and less help with his disabled child. It was mind boggling.

North American food is atrocious. Go see a chart that compares the same brand food with Europe, the ingredients are wildly different. No wonder we have obesity.

And I haven’t gotten to car centric urban planning yet.

Remember that most regulations are written in blood… People die when companies operate without oversight.

… and vote like absolute idiots because they don’t understand there is no political state so bad that it can’t be made horribly worse.
