I am so fucking tired of these "we asked for it," "we deserve this," narratives. THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO VOTED DID NOT VOTE FOR THIS GOVERNMENT. It was elected with 43% of the popular vote in a snap election that had a 45% voter turnout. This narrative promotes an individualist moral explanation for the fundamentally systemic issue that is our fucked election system.

You have someone to blame, good for you, that doesn't do anything. People who vote Con do so because they do not care about other people and %99 of them never will; they are disproportionately represented by landlords. Many people who do not vote very often correctly identify that the system is rigged against their interests and will not recognise their choice.

Check local activist networks for any action directed at MPP offices. You can email and call but if your MPP is Con they will not give a shit unless you inconvenience them.
