No. no. Privatization is great. Im american and its so much more exciting. Every time I get the big square envelope I never know if its approval or denial. Its like one of those exciting tv shows you might watch where you definitely would not want to be a character in it.

Breaking Bad was amazing that is for sure. haha

I still will never understand how Canadians can look at privatization down south and be all “I want some of that!”. I have to congratulate the consecutive governments who managed to turn Canadians against the very things they fought for decades to get.

Have to respect the game even if it is incredibly evil.

We don’t. Unfortunately, when Canadians go to the polls, the thing a lot of the less thoughtful are thinking is “I want [last administration that didn’t magically fix all the problems] out of power. I don’t care what their opponents actually intend to do with the province/country as long as they’re gone.” I have no solution for this.

We don’t.

“Canadians” in this context is Canadians who support privatization. Are you a part of that group and trying to alert me to a misunderstanding regarding your ideology? Or did you miss the context?

Some Canadians aren’t willfully ignorant useful idiots, and the solution is making more Canadians educated enough to grasp the fact that buzz words and anger don’t get politicians who do good elected in to office. The solution is educating Canadians on the fact that no other party other than Liberal or Conservative has ever held Federal Power. The closest to that being changed was the NDP Opposition win under Layton, and now we could not be further away from breaking the trend.

It is the responsibility of those with the right information to provide it to everyone else. Get on it if you actually care. Start with understanding that “Canadians” vary greatly from province to province and coast to coast.

There can be no “we” while our politicians play American style politics. That is the point.
