Summary
In this episode, I talk about why I don't think the Green Party is a serious political party, and why I think the NDP is a joke. I also talk about the fact that the Greens have been a breeding ground for the fringe crackpot set of Canadian society.

The only real way that you can get true, hard information from a government in this country
00:00:17.400
is through some sort of parliamentary committee in the context of a minority government.
00:00:21.800
Unless the stars all align in that perfect fashion, which only happens once every decade
00:00:26.620
or so, you're basically not going to get any accountability because we know that things
00:00:29.840
like the ethics commissioner and all the rest of it are just, you know, pointless figureheads
00:00:38.900
You can't really have a government that says it's committed to having a country that is
00:00:44.180
diverse and, you know, having a government that is reflective of that diversity and then
00:00:49.120
also champion this very outdated, old fashioned idea that Canada is fundamentally a country
00:00:54.560
of two founding nations, only two, the French and the English, and that those communities
00:00:58.780
sort of will forever be able to dictate the shape and nature of the country.
00:01:07.740
What I say is that there is so much evidence that the Green Party has, like I said, been
00:01:11.320
a breeding ground or at least a sort of like welcoming environment for really like the fringe
00:01:20.560
You know, the NDP is, is, has a culture, right?
00:01:23.380
Like, and that's the thing, it's like the NDP is kind of like a culture that has a party.
00:01:27.380
It's just, this is just the kind of party that the NDP is.
00:01:31.460
I think it's a serious, an unserious party run by unserious people that are sort of captive
00:01:37.060
to a kind of fantasy of relevance that's never actually going to come true.
