    A lot of people don’t get it until they see it in action.

    My union recently had a vote about increasing health benefits. “No” won in one of the categories because there were 3 options for how much to increase it by. (Yes won by 76% while the no beat the top yes 24% to 23%)

    I pointed this out at the next meeting and we had a vote and struck the no vote. Later a bunch of people said thanks for pointing that out, and my reply was “no sweat, we have the same problem with our elections.”

    Then everyone applauded and Einstein gave me a piece of π. Just kidding, it was more like weird looks and a couple agreements, but I like to think I brought the issue to a few people’s attention.













  • Well, it’s like this:

    We’ve been flip-flopping back and forth on Conservatives and Liberals since forever. No one’s happy.

    If it weren’t for the NDP agreement with the Liberals we wouldn’t be getting dental care, which comes in to effect for the rest of Canadians this year, and pharmacare which is supposed to come later.

    These are real tangible benefits that every Canadian will be able to see and feel and that means more to me than a carbon tax.

    You’re worried about Singh name-calling? The dude is getting our teeth fixed and he’s not even PM. Focus on the real things.
