I think a majority of Canadians are kind, hardworking, and want what’s best for their families, friends, neighbours, and the country.

What does a brand new political party platform look like to appeal to an overwhelming majority of Canadians?

    I like the idea that politicians are held to a higher standard, but I can’t imagine it would be easy to enforce. If it was a financial penalty, it would encourage corruption. If the penalty was an exclusion from running in the next election, the group that makes that determination could be weaponized. It would be difficult to structure.

      I know. It’s just idealism at its finest. Just like how proportional representation won’t ever be implement because it won’t ever benifit the one who has the power to put it into practice, such a policy could never actually be enacted.

      But I like to dream, even if I know it’ll never happen.
