Oh, Canadian politics. You suck so much.
I don’t get why Lisa Raitt should resign for calling the medical isotopes issue “sexy”.
I don’t get what the “medical isotopes issue” is in the first place.
I don’t get why every time they play footage of her or someone else in the House of Commons talking, there’s always someone yelling in the background. Are they other MPs? How disgusting. Politics is so childish. I want nothing to do with it, but I’m going to talk about it anyway.
Sure, Lisa Raitt did some stupid shit — just like every other MP. Other politicians make crude remarks about current issues. Other politicians diss their bosses. The only difference is she got caught.
I don’t get why we punish the people who get caught; at least we can see what they’re doing wrong. It’s the sneaky people we know nothing about we have to worry about. What are they doing that must be kept so secret?
And they never bother to explain issues to us. The news, whoever. There’s some supposed shortage of isotopes, but I have no idea what those are or why that matters. No one’s ever tried to explain it. No one ever tried to explain what a “Mixed Member Proportional” system was either.
The man doesn’t want us to know things. He doesn’t want us to understand. Because if we knew what was really going on, we… well, we wouldn’t take action, because no one really does that anymore. Maybe you’d all start being apathetic, like me, and just not vote for anyone. I’m actually really proud of myself for not voting. I’m willing to admit I don’t know what’s going on, so I don’t want to vote for something I don’t understand. If the people who didn’t understand stopped voting, maybe something would get done.
