It’s so hypocritical. Mostly their job seems to revolve around getting kickbacks from oil and gas corporations.

Thats a silly emotionally based populist argument.
The amount of money being dolled out to pay the salaries of top ministers/members and senators and opposition leaders (such as P.P) of parliment is a tiny fraction of the cost of the LPC creating 140k new government jobs since 2015, increasing the size of government by 40%
Where is Carneys (the supposed pragmatist sage) plan to reduce federal public sector jobs by 40% back to 2015 levels?
That stat alone and Canadas declining GPD per capita (going deeply negative , especially taking inflation into account) should be enough of a reason for a rational private sector full time worker (without some huge real estate windfall) not to vote them in for a 4th time.
But yes, if you've taken on a huge amount of debt and overleveraged on too big of a house(s), maybe youd want to vote in Carney to get what will likely turn out to be some massive bail-out. My moneys on CMHC zero percent loans for $500,000 - million dollars worth of mortgage per family or a full blown debt jubilee. Courtesy of course, of Quantitative Easing and double digit inflation/theft of purchasing power. Neither of which would shock me from this crew.
If youve read Alex Epsteins book fossil future, youll realize youve been conditioned by academia to have irrational distaste for the oil&gas industry, while not having the same visceral reaction to junk food, soda or e-cigarette companies. The former , in my view, is a huge economic benefit to greater societys quality of life while the latter is a drain.
It's very telling to me how academia in most canadian universities will promote extreme antisemitic BDS and pro-hamas activists who've been caught wearing masks in front of our local community centers, places of worship spewing vile blood libel/antisemitic drivel on Shabbat , while at the same time,, not allowing any questioning of the extremist "climate emergency" narrative including cutting off grants to climate researchers unless they come to a pre-agreed upon conclusion in their papers.
And your talk of kickbacks is equally as silly/fun and speculative as my speculation of Carney getting kickbacks from OREA/TREB or being a Russian or Qatari asset . Both are far out claims and unimportant and ultimately out of our control.
