NOUN THE VERB

That phenomenon is called false consciousness.

Disclaimer: Not Canadian, perhaps I'm projecting :)

Pleas don't mix up uneducated or poor with stupid: without the education necessary and the time to perform a critical cause/effect analysis it's near impossible to do. Only chance is again historic education.

The conservative message is really really easy: "this X is the cause for all your problems!"

And at first glance it's easy to agree: I have a bad job. An immigrant has a better job. Of course they are the cause for me not having a job!

That's the conservatives weapon: they simplify their lies until you need time and effort to see through it - or learn from the past. They make sure that the poor don't have the chance to either and the cycle continues.

Personal note: fuck them. In every country, for every lie for every "policy".

Yea, I don't get why the poor supporting conservatives who would cut all the social support programs that the poor needs.

Start seeing this "both sides are the same" followed by "may as well just stay home" posts which ring like the cons bots/ trolls astro-turfing trying to swing the election for conservative. Happened in usa and now it's happening here in Canada.

I'm not going to be one of those usa voters who decided to vote for Jill Stein because "Democrat is not perfect". They (along with those who couldn't even be bothered to vote) are partly to blame for the second trump regime. Canada sovereignty is at stake. Our way of life is at stake in this election. Until we got an electoral reform to replace "First Past the Post", I am going to continue to vote strategically against conservative. pierre and conservative win will be a nightmare for Canada because they cannot be trusted to put Canada and Canadians over usa, billionaires and corporations' profit.

NDP is dear and near to my heart but in this coming election, I'm voting for and donating to my local Liberal candidate.
