Oh Canada
I hate politics. I really do. I’ve never seen the point of sitting around complaining about whose party stinks the worst. What does it accomplish?
This week has been particularly bad for political scandals. South of the border, it looks like Trump might finally be heading out of the White House if not to jail!
And here in boring ol’ Canada, we’re swept up in our own political obstruction scandal. Who thought that Golden Boy, Sunny Ways Trudeau would fall like this? Well, most of Weatern Canada was hoping for it. But I just shake my head at all the Conservatives screaming foul like they’ve never done anything wrong.
Maybe that’s what disappoints me the most. He fact that if Trudeau is found at fault, if he gets kicked out, if this does trigger an election and the Conservatives win, what’s to say that they won’t turn around and do the exact same thing? Or worse?
It’s not fair. It’s not just. And it’s naive to think it will magically change with a new government.
Maybe I’m just getting cynical about the whole thing. Maybe we need more people like Jody Wilson-Raybould to keep everyone in check. Then people wouldn’t get away with everything and people like me could have some faith in their government again.
