Why is it the masses of gullible hayseeds that get razzled dazzled by same hollow promises and shell games and photo ops from all politicians in this region. Its obscene to watch this happen every year. The political apathy in these parts makes me sick. —Howard Beale

You need to be clearer.
My guess is he’s from out west and does like how liberal the east coast. He thinks we voted in Trudeau because we’re dumb and like his hair. It’s not apathy, we (or some of us) pay very close attention.
The “Fair” Elections Act (voter suppression) was enough for me. Never mind the other shitty things Harper did. That one piece of legislation was enough for me to not vote conservative for a very long time.
Those gullible hayseeds aren’t as ‘razzled dazzled’ (What is this? The 1970s? Do the Hudson Brothers know about this?!) as you might think. Thanks for painting the voters of this lovely province with the broad brush of ignorance.
This region does not have a lock on that type of thing. Happens in many other areas across the nation at all political levels, as well.
WOW you guys could make sense of this? I had to go to the comments section just to figure out what this guy was trying to say. Kudos.
I am still 50/50 on Trudeau. I like that he does things like march in the pride parade to show support for the gay community and try to make his cabinet balanced (minus the “because it’s 2015”) but every time he opens his mouth I cringe. Still undecided here, hoping he grows into it a bit more in the next year or two.
