Everyone likes a political drama, so it’s only natural that the story of Patrick Brown’s disqualification from the Conservative Party of Canada leadership race…
But Canadians shouldn’t let it distract from the fact that whatever scandals are unfolding among potential future leaders, we’ve got much more meaningful problems happening with our current leader that are unfolding in real time and actually impacting our lives.
When it comes to the case of political interference into the RCMP’s investigation of the Nova Scotia mass shooting, all we can say with certainty is someone is lying and that’s quite a cloud to have hanging over such an issue.Article content How has this happened? Some will say it’s media bias that leans favourably to the Liberals. There’s a lot of truth to this. For decades now, Canadians have been exposed to the tired narratives that conservatives are about to become extinct and can’t possibly win the next election unless they do exactly what the most left-wing columnist at the Toronto Star instructs, or that they harbour villainous motives that must be incessantly pursued even when no evidence emerges.
Let’s not entirely blame the news preferences of the general public though. The insiders shoulder blame as well. Politicos of all stripes are notorious for preferring campaigns over governance and policy . If it was up to them, we’d be in endless leadership campaigns, by-elections and general elections and that’s all we’d ever discuss.tap here to see other videos from our teamThe problem is this set up leaves us poorly served as citizens and news consumers.
