I'd believe the NDP to be sincere in their promise to fix it, at least until they prove otherwise, but they won't be elected so they won't get the chance

Yeah it's easy to believe in someone who will never get a chance to show if they deserved your belief or not.

I mean the alternative is voting for someone who time and again has proven they're not acting with your interests in mind, and I'm talking both red and blue here

Yeah ... I know. I vote NDP too but I'm not under any delusions. Singh is very much ingrained in the upper class. You think he's gotten this far without making any promises to the wealthy? I don't have much hope, but at least there's no track record of them fucking Canadians, like there is with the Libs and Cons.

Certainly. Hiring among union members will never be in your best interest as their employer. Unions work for the employees – forever and always.

The employers (i.e. you and me) in some ridings have little choice, though. The talent pool is only so large.
