MODERATORS
Canada (I'm Canadian) had quite the turn last election. We were almost surely going into a conservative religious-dominant government until our southern friends showed us the error of that way.
I generally don't vote to be honest. But now? Well. To be entirely frank...
Fuck me.
As someone who is very poor and one step away from being on the streets (which I won't do so one step away from... y'know) I was expecting a conservative government to gut everything I rely on.
Instead I've been at a work resource center and they've been telling me now is a "hot time" to do things like government funded retraining. Specifically due to the government that's in power now.
So yeah. Maybe I should get in a line and vote. Turns out it makes a difference.
