So many people are selfish. They only care about getting their package. Many people ask if PP will cut X or Y-specific programs. They will vote for him if their socialized help isn't cut. I've told so many of them that even if their program isn't cut, someone else's will be, and that person will suffer. I get responses like ''I have to put me and my children first''. Then do so, but expect other selfish people not to care about you when the program(S) you relied on is cut off (and they will be!).

I've said on some other subreddits we need to get better dealing with misinformation and propaganda.
The wealth interests have realized that the flow of information related to the world wide web and the speed and ferocity of which viral moments/memes can hit has changed the game.
They want to control those dimensions.
It is the sacred duty of journalists and the media to create awareness and build education on important subjects. Let's be real though those venues are now owned by again the wealth interests and are controlling the spin.
Same goes with politics.
The LPC and CPC are controlled opposition to each other.
They are both corporatist parties at their core. The name of the game is business lobby influence/corruption and crony capitalism.
It's why they both will speak about the abuses around the Temporary Foreign Worker Program/International Mobility Program, General LMIA, International Student Program, and then once in power will only expand the exploitation of foreign workers and the further weaponization of that exploitative framework against domestic citizen workers. Especially our most vulnerable low income workers, gig workers, and so forth.
Trudeau did it, Pierre is now doing it, and it will go back and forth like this because it is all a script.
These interests will use progressive language/appearances and or conservative language/appearances to achieve their policy goals.
Militant organized labour (Historical Labour Movement) was the only thing to ever move things forward for regular working people and families.
It created massive leaps forward in collective bargaining and got us so many of the rights and realities we enjoy today.
They are never going to give fair and honest treatment. We have to take it.
