Exactly, they blame everyone except their own people and policies.

What bothers me most is that they rejected the idea to review the policy first. That was the reasonable middle ground and they still said no.

Personally I think that speed bumps are way better, they're cheaper, less maintenance and they wont hurt you if you're 1 over the limit. THe speed cameras are just a money grab

You’re absolutely right that democracy starts with the individual. Being informed about laws, policies, and constitutional tools like the notwithstanding clause is one of the most important responsibilities we have as citizens. Relying on your own research instead of passively accepting...

What stands out to me is not just the content of these bills, but how they were handled. Rushing legislation through without fully addressing public concerns gives the impression that input from citizens is more of a formality than something that actually influences decisions. That’s a dangerous...

At 14:05 in this video they claim that they are cutting the red tape on small businesses, and in many sections within this debate they bring up the creation of 80,000 jobs in two months. If that is true we still lost 100,000 jobs in one month which is a new negative of 20,000 jobs. It just seems...

This is something more people should be paying attention to. Infrastructure projects always sound good on the surface, but when you look at how they’re implemented, especially with fast-tracked powers over private land, it raises serious concerns about where the line gets drawn.

That is exactly it. A lot of people focus on who is in charge right now, but the bigger issue is what tools are being created. Once those tools exist, they can be used by anyone in power later on. That is why transparency and clear limitations are so important from the start.

What stands out to me most is Division 5 and the idea of exemption powers without transparency. Even if the intention is to improve efficiency, giving ministers or officials the ability to bypass statutory obligations without public disclosure feels like a major shift. Basic safeguards like...

Yeah and that’s a step in the right direction. Expanding how they share information makes a big difference, especially for younger people who aren’t checking government websites.

After seeing all of the posts on this site about Local government, I was wondering: Do Local Governments Communicate Well? because it seems a lot of the information about decisions being made is hard to find for people. Effective communication is one of the most important responsibilities of...

I think the system itself matters too. In some industries, hard work is rewarded more directly, while in others it’s less predictable. That inconsistency makes it harder to believe in a simple cause-and-effect relationship.

Exactly. I think the biggest shift is that people are realizing how important connections and exposure are. You can work extremely hard in isolation and still not get noticed, while someone else with the right network can move forward much faster.

Yeah I heard about these, such a sad day for Canada.

Societal expectations play a role too. There is pressure to always be working or available, and until we collectively change how we view productivity and dedication, work-life balance will remain elusive.
