I don’t really care about culture wars, or values. I support gay marriage, multiculturalism and the women’s right to abortion right along with accountability, fiscal responsibility, and leadership based on one’s proven track record of being knowledgeable and knowing how to lead. So based on those principles, what does that make me? I’m more interested in kicking out those who have irreparably harmed Canadians during their time in Office (helloooo British Columbia), than I am in preserving this nonsense about "culture “. This is such a distraction. And this type of discussion does little to appease the hoards of young people fleeing this country because our leaders have turned their backs on them. Our forefathers would be disgusted with all of us. When you have a tone deaf Federal Government which spends 4 times of its budget on Boomers+ than on young people, maybe focus on that, rather than on this bullshit narrative about preserving whatever it is that’s dividing us into oblivion. It’s just so boring. Do better.
Hi Tara, I believe you may be misinterpreting our point, but this also gets to the crux of the issue at hand, as we both discuss at length in this episode, and as we expanded upon on stage Friday in Vancouver. Politics is downstream from culture, and "culture" is more than what some define as a distraction: it's the decisions on drugs, crime, the slippery slope from land acknowledgements, the undercutting of our young people and turning our suburbs into those for seniors and foreign speculators, and not for young Canadians. This was all rendered replaceable and interchangeable, fairly quickly, and when those organize back against bad ideas or seek to widen the window of permissible conversation, they're dismissed as being off the target. The rot is institutional. All of that matters to us. To borrow from the Grateful Dead, it's "all one song."
