No wonder Canadians are feeling anxious and fearful. And in times of crisis, people tend to look extra hard for leaders they can trust.
The problem with voting based upon your fears is that you often vote based upon what you don’t want instead of what you do want. In effect, you vote to keep someone out instead of voting to get someone in.
This is why politics as a whole is effectively a joke in our world today and why the system is broken, thus not really helping the nation as a whole to evolve and grow.
This is why I’ve said before that politicians should have to articulate the needs, values, and desires of the opposing party and what they are striving to build, which shows how they understand the complexities of the situation.
Yet to change the political system, you effectively need a leader who is willing to change the system, not for his own personal gain, but for the gain of the entire country.
