I don't like the budget (I feel it's largely a #BigOil wish list) and I don't want an election (I feel there's literally NOBODY to vote for).
I am a Canadian citizen and lifelong voter. I feel disenfranchised. I feel like my political system is utterly failing me.

Seriously I don't know what's up. It's been almost half a year (June) since I put out a new documentary-style episode of Sprawlcast. It feels stuck. Have been prioritizing other projects/formats for The Sprawl. And can't seem to get back into the podcast groove. It is a frustration.

Reluctance to consult caucus, opposition parties could spell trouble for Prime Minister Carney
Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet said the current Liberal government's approach to consultation will "bite their ass." Although the language is unparliamentary, he's not wrong.

And yes, I know he was Governor of the Bank of Canada and that he knows better than anyone that our stricter regulations saved us during the 2008 crash that hit the US hard.
He was also a UN special envoy for climate action and finance. And how's he doing now that he thinks he's CEO of Canada?

Rand Paul on his healthcare plan: "What if you could join Costco? Costco has 44m members and if one person negotiated for all 44 and they bought a group plan like Toyota or General Motors does, they would be the largest collective entity in the country. They would drive prices down by sheer might."
