Indeed, the Liberal NDP coalition's increasing taxes on capital gains, 10-dollar day care, pharma care, dental care and plans to build more affordable housing are all progressive good moves towards a fairer sharing. Far from perfect but indeed substantial. The difference between that and PP's sloganeering-His social media posts, his 30 second videos on YouTube that are mere bumper stickers not solutions but aiming all of our resentments of unaffordability at one man, Trudeau. But these short-moronic takes that PP puts out there are effective in capturing the reactionary-unthinking vulnerabilities of the youth vote. It is very sad because it the very neoliberalism-cutting taxes and removing government from the housing market accelerated by Mulroney in the 1980s and carried through for decades that finds us with monopolies, oligopolies cornering the market able to price gouge-corporate greed- causing the unaffordability-causing a housing crises created by the market and government not having enough say. PP wants to cut taxes, cut down government-the very things needed for more fairness not to mention to have a planet that sustains life. I am not a big fan of Trudeau, but we need a population that at least can discern between a man trying to increase fairness and a man trying to aim all our resentments at one man. Listening to young voters telling Steve Paikin on TV Ontario's Agenda that they "loved PP's short videos, "he explains thing so well" left me feeling sick to my stomach, hoping that just enough of young voters have more time to think than scroll for the shortest most sensational takes. We shall see, but a populus that focuses on one man, that finds policy boring leaves us too dumb for democracy and getting the government we deserve.
