When you don’t show, you don’t give a shit and agree with whoever and whatever. As a Canadian, one thing that stands out to me, you guys have way too many elections. It’s like you are always on the campaign trail. You vote for too much shit.
We don’t vote for enough shit. Policies have the same chance to be enacted whether 0% of our people want them or 100%. We vote for representatives, but representatives are people, and they can lie and are corruptible. What we need is a better system and a way to discourage abusing the one we have.
Why shouldnt those things be voted on? Whats the alternative - the corrupt politicians appointing those positions? The voting wouldn’t be a problem if we actually had safeguards or ways to hold people accountable for lying or corruption in realtime instead of just hoping they get voted out next time
We don’t have that in Canada, we don’t spend our time voting on that kind of stuff, yes it’s appointed, but we don’t go straight into thinking corruption. We assume people work for the people. Politicians that’s another story.
Yeah that’s one of the huge problems - the inmates are running the asylum and they aren’t going to vote for the good of everyone when that would mean giving up the power. That’s why I can count on one hand the politicians I think are actually For The People.
