  • Yes it’s the Liberals that are the problem. Not an oligarchic system of parties that we bounce between, slowly devolving us to the right of the Overton window.

    Even the NDP and Greens are part of this corrupted system too, but voting for the ones (Lib/Con) that will dismantle our democracy further is not the answer.

    To discuss some of the points you bring up (in no particular order):

    Investing on infrastructure based on population means that all of our northern and rural towns get minimal investment, because their population will never increase unless we invest in them.

    You also appear to be siding with the Freedom Convoy, a Russian incited and sponsored group that ran into our capital and essentially shut it down for a week or more while the Ottawa Police sat on their hands and the OPP looked away. That was police not willing to do their jobs and enforce the laws that existed against a group that they supported, that’s called fascism.

    Those “truckers and farmers”, much like yourself from what I gather, are blinded by social media ignorance, corporate entities, and pot-stirring foreign governments, framing the narrative that it is the left that is trying to destroy this country and not the center and right wing factions that apparently want the world to be ruled by Kings.

    Electoral reform doesn’t go through because the parties that get in power know that if they put electoral perform through they’re going to lose a bit of power in the long term.

    Houses aren’t being built because we have a government that is unwilling to support anybody but large developers to build houses. And large developers also push out smaller developers because of the amount of money they’re willing to pay for property and that they can hold on to developable land for extended periods of time without actually building in order to extract the most value at expense of our population.

    Immigration is only at the level that it is because we need to prop up our economy with cheap foreign labor. Why do you think TFW’s are so popular? Big business does not want to pay locals a reasonable wage. As such locals aren’t well off and don’t want to have children driving the need for more immigrants.

    I agree regarding post-secondary institutional reform.

    You’re looking at this from a liberal versus conservative standpoint when we really need to look at the policies being put into place that harm citizens and benefit corporations and those in power. It is a class war not a culture war that we are fighting. Liberals and cons both focus on the culture war and concentration of power, and also the NDP and greens to an extent. We need to drive all these parties to policies beneficial for the population, and not allow them to concentrate power at the top whether that be government or corporate.





  • Fantastic game! Had a great time playing and will likely do a couple more playthroughs.

    Went to 100% nuclear power generation, however generation of electricity and fuel production dropped to zero in the last few turns of my playthrough and I didn’t see a reason…or wait…was it that earth liberation front that bombed all my gas and nuke plants? Ha, my entire world was without power just as I finished the game!

    The game has a frostpubk vibe with the feeling of desperation at the start, kind of like how some of us feel with the way the world is going.
