I was born in a country where elected officials commonly embezzle or scam money on a massive scale

They use their office to enrich themselves, friends, and family. They use police to enforce their criminality

Corruption is so rife, it's impossible to root it out... 1/

#onpoli My country of birth is one of those that originated the idiom "banana republic"

Canadians have little understanding of how pervasive corruption can get, and how damn near impossible it is to end it if it's not nipped in the bud

And I see it in Ontario right now... 2/

I was in a conservative space last night

I enjoy the spaces put on by this certain person who organizes them. Mostly, it's composed of reasonable conservatives with interesting things to say

However, something kept coming up: "TruAnon" "Liberals are in a cult"

#cdnpoli Here's the thing my conservative friends (the kind with a lowercase C):

You may have valid points about Liberal screw ups, and you may be different from far-right extremists

But you still don't understand why many of us still support the PM

No, it's not a cult
