this is a discussion that has no relevance, interest or meaning to me, other than to reinforce the point i've been making about this government being almost uniquely bourgeois, relative to recent governments in canada, even conservative ones.

the liberal party has essentially become an aristocracy at this point, run by fifty or sixty year old trust fund kids. they've been swinging right for years, granted, but i didn't really see this coming.

they're totally out of touch with the working class voters that they've historically relied heavily upon. worse, they don't seem to really care, instead falling back into tired arguments about "winners and losers" - as though trudeau or morneau are people that have earned a thing in their lives....

when you strip away the gloss, you see the same basic thing in this government that we're seeing in the trump administration, except that it's been sort of obscured, somehow. yet, with every new piece of legislation, it's increasingly clear that this neo-trudeau government is really just a bunch of useless aristocrats writing laws that exist solely for their own benefit.
