Obamacare was forced on us the eight billion, could be spent elsewhere and is on illegals that flood this country by the thousands. Want to start anywhere how about enforcing the laws we currently have, term limits on politicians and hold the media accountable for what they report, then I think the American people will start to care. Glad I unplugged my TV 17 years ago, just reading these posts makes my head spin. Just read bumper stickers and signs down the highway and I can guess the current president.
I treat it like scoring ice skating... throw out the highs and lows because the real answer is probably in the middle of the pack.
Well, I am of the crowd that caring doesn't do any good. Politicians are professional liars...…...they say what they want to get elected then once in office they just do what they want. The only time they even attempt to look like they care about the people who elected them is when the next election comes around. Politics should have never been allowed to be a career...……...yes I support terms limits for ALL of them 1000%. Politicians get away with murder having the ability to pass laws on the rest of us that don't apply to them. In order to see what is in a healthcare bill we have to pass it first!?? That's downright criminal and they do it without any regard to the voting public. Building a wall accomplishes nothing!? Money for necessary items is being spent taking care of illegal immigrants flooding into this country because there is no boundary. We have ways to immigrate here legally but most don't elect to do so. I'm all ears for another solution that will work, but the only other option I have heard is to just open up the borders and start taking care of everybody that shows up which makes no sense at all when this country is already financially stressed.
Point made. I'm blaming the Canadian on this one!

This wasn't intended to be a political debate, just a comparison of how the 2 countries elect their leaders. But like the old saying goes, if you get lost in the woods, just mention politics, and someone will show up to argue with you. If you need to, go ahead and sensor....delete
CBC is owned by the government, so take it from there. There are a lot of similarities between countries. We have a lot more social programs, so we are taxed to death. Now they are going to tax carbon emissions so everything but my wages will go up. For some reason, I am responsible for how indigenous people were treated long before I was born, so I have to share the cost. My home province is pretty much broke because we need 2 hospital systems, and 2 school systems for French and English. Kids that live and play together on the same road have to take separate busses because some politicians decided that because of the language act, separate bussing was their right. The language commissioner practically crippled the ambulance service in this province because there were not enough French speaking paramedics on staff. It wasn't enough to have French staff in French areas, and it took a court of law to get the service going again, French or not. We can't carry hand guns, and I think it's a big deal just to own one paperwork wise, but we can legally carry and smoke dope though, figure that one out. We have a boat load of oil and natural gas, but the environmentalists won't let it leave the west. Oh and our politicians can stay in office as long as they get the vote. Oh and the Premiere is like the governor of the province and the Prime minister is the leader of the country. We don't vote for the Premiere or the prime minister. They are the leaders of their party, but they still have to win their seat in their riding. It's a flawed system, because if I like the PM, I might have to vote for someone in my riding that I don't like in order to get his party in.
