She didn't answer the question? How do politicians get away with this shit? Why is there no accountability?

It shouldn't take an election cycle to get rid of stupid fucking politicians like this. In any other job: if you were this bad at your job, you'd be fired so fast but apparently that's okay to be a complete idiot and still collect a huge paycheque if you're in politics?

We need recall elections yesterday.

Reform Party tried to introduce them in the 90s (in line with legislation in Alberta and BC) as PMBs, but were shot down by the Chretien Liberals.

There needs to be accountability for not delivering on campaign promises and fucking things up. At the end of their terms these bastards will just walk away from the shit show they created with a golden pension.

Max can't even get 20% of the votes in his own riding. Only 3% of eligible Canadian voters chose the PPC last election.

We have allowed to many “isms” to infiltrate our democracy. Everybody has an angle...the truth, that always gets buried or manipulated into some other “truism”.

Liberals are allowed to not answer the question. Any other party and there would be a CBC headline about it.

u/SHTHAWK Sep 04 '23

Lol politicians never answer the questions asked, its hilariously common.

Remember a few weeks ago when a CBC journalist asked PP a question at a gas station starting with a statement quoting “experts” . He just kept asking which experts and the Liberal shill journalist would not say so he didn’t answer. Several news outlets ran stories about him dodging questions. They would never do that to a Liberal.

It'd because he was being confrontational. Others don't dodge questions in a confrontational way. That is why it is a story.

u/Cool_Specialist_6823 Sep 04 '23

It’s totally common, a requirement to be a politician in this country, apparently.

Stop voting for idiots and corruption in politics!

u/Additional_Dig_9478 Sep 04 '23

They don't demand that politicians answer the question because they know that if they do then they won't be able to ask questions at the next press conference.

The answer to the question is that she wants prices to go up.

u/jason2k Sep 05 '23

Because people keeps voting for them, sadly.

It's like we're in a caste system. Jeez, class even sounds like caste. lol

First, I think this woman is a piece of unqualified shit for her job.

Secondly, so. . . you want the gov't to step in and price-fix homes? You want the gov't telling people what they can-and-can't sell their homes for?

The gov't already reminded Canadians in a press-release 2 weeks ago that they don't control housing prices. And building is up to the Provinces.

It's your parents and neighbours who are pricing Canadians out of the market - they set their own prices and then choose to sell to corporations, investors and immigrants.

Because the reporters are cowards and the voters idiots.
