You need to branch out a bit, and take a look at how countries on the brink actually operate. Go check out Hungary for a country that almost lost their democracy, or check out Russia for a country that never had it but tries to pretend like it does.

Canada is measurably not even close to countries like Russia, where voting truly does not matter (and could actually be hazardous to your health.)

Doing nothing is guaranteed to fail. Apathy only helps the bad guys win.

Messaging campaigns at least have a chance of influencing things.

Carney’s current majority is correlated to PP’s douchiness levels and Trump adjacent language.

I’m not in love with bankers running the country either, but give us another option.
