      Legacy of Liberals: Not much changed, some things got better, but cost 10x what it should (often because Conservatives fucked everything up, and Liberals corruption to line their own pockets)

      Legacy of Conservatives: Everything is worse for everyone, things are more expensive, public assets are sold off to private interests, and maybe $300 worth of easy to point to taxes (license stickers) are removed and heralded as a victory for the average person while costing everyone significantly more than they saved… But the profit margins of the monopolies are slightly better!

        Liberals build a housing project: there’s cost overruns, corruption and kick backs but at the end of the day we have a housing project.

        Conservatives build a housing project: there’s cost overruns, corruption and kick backs but at the end of the day the housing project gets sold to a foreign private investment group.

          Dont forget the conservatives also sell off the liberal housing project at a loss, and the media spins it as good thing somehow.

      The article said to write to your MPP objecting to the deal and if there is enough public pressure they might back out.

        Gotta love when a news outlet recommended public action in an article, and doesn’t provide any links or guidance on how to accomplish anything aside from a generic suggestion.

        “Hey, let’s capture public outrage and bring a ton of traffic to our website but do nothing to actually help the public participate, hopefully they’ll feel like they’ve done something and nothing changes!”

        Not sure if this is the best link but here was that so hard CBC?
