The state of Canadian politics

[sabotabby]

Here is an excellent round-up of all the ways in which the Conservatives were evil in 2014. Highlights include corruption, election fraud, stupid laws with stupider names, the Temporary Foreign Workers program, treating refugees like shit, and, of course, surveillance.

Anyway go have a look in case you're an American planning to flee to Canada, or a Canadian whose relatives insist Harper's good for the economy.

MEANWHILE in Toronto, Tory's government already has a death toll of at least two—homeless guys who froze to death because the city didn't issue an extreme weather advisory, even though temperatures are in the negative double digits. But at least the trains run on time. Oh wait, they don't.

ETA: OCAP occupied the mayor's office, forcing Tory to order the warming shelters open. Good on OCAP.

To be honest I've seriously been thinking of fleeing at times. It's so fucking awful.

I think about it a lot. But I have a career and a mortgage, so.

Wait, where do YOU want to flee to?

[sabotabby]

I don't want to flee anywhere! See aforementioned mortgage. But Sweden, presumably. Maybe Germany. Or if I want to be practical, get a job in a place and move there.

Similiar thing going on for me. Job I love.
