LadyJean: With all do respect

I do vote and I do pay attention. Doesn't matter much when campaigns require money from the high rollers and when party membership and voting is rigged. Only the rich and well connected can even hope to get to a place where I can vote for them.

Seems to me that none of those people represent me or the people they have been elected to serve. If so, why have millions of Canadian dollars gone to friends of elected politicians instead of health and education?

I actually liked "Da Man" because at least he was an intelligent statesman. I liked Trudeau for the same reason. I pay very high taxes and appreciate it when I know the money is going toward social programs but when the money goes to war or to line someone's pockets, thats when I get angry.
