Leader of Loyal Opposition calls Trudeau a "Wacko." Crisis of democracy ensues

Why has the political process in many leading democracies devolved into crass spectacle? I believe there are a combination of reasons, but they all come down to the fact that our democracies no longer work for the vast majority of the populace. In the world’s benchmark democracy, it has long been my contention that the USSC officially declared the death of democracy with the 2010 Citizens United ruling. If you recall, that was where unlimited money into election campaigns was enshrined as a first amendment right, because corporations are people too, don’t ya know! So, democracy was dead, but, especially when you’re the leader of the democratic world, the show must go on! And has it ever! We no longer expect politicians to get anything done, because we know they can’t, unless their objectives coincide with the objectives of the billionaire donor class who call the shots. But dammit, we still gotta pretend! Otherwise, our entire claim to “leadership of the democratic world” goes down the shitter! That American process was reflected in the shit-show that unfolded in Ottawa this afternoon. The leader of the official opposition called PM Fluffy a “wacko!” Although Canada never had a Citizens United moment, we’ve achieved the same zen-of-democracy space, wherein we don’t actually seriously expect politicians to do anything, at least not in the sense of getting anything done. Look at the legacy accomplishments of Team Fluffy. He legalized weed. He gave us $10/day daycare. And finally, we have pharmacare! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Except this… if your pharmacare needs go beyond contraception and diabetes, you’re out of luck. If you thought “ten-dollar-a-day” daycare meant you’d get day care for $10/day, you’re out of luck too. And as for legalized weed, Justin turned the business over to his Bay Street pals who turned it into the biggest pump-and-dump since Bre-X Gold! But we still gotta pretend! That’s why our official government propaganda outlet will be hyperventilating over the breakdown of decorum in parliament for weeks!
