I'm not one for conspiracy theories but I do look at as many angles as I can think of. This seems like a perfect opportunity to settle out of court and thus funnel millions of tax dollars to a militia that will serve trump to the end.

I think it's quite simple, really. In the absence of truth comes speculation. It's not important who the "they" is and is irrelevant to the topic being challenged. What is important is to find a path to truth that can regain the public's trust. "Extreme" transparency will now be required in order to regain that trust. As always the pendulum swings to great lengths and effectiveness.

Great article. The pundits that are "confused" about why all this is happening need to read this. Thanks for posting.

Someone was favouring extra expensive contracts with private medical contractors.

That's just trump trying to swing the vote toward pp. It's so obvious I think/hope the only people stupid enough to fall for it are the ones who already vote conservative.

I cannot profess to knowing that which I did not read, per say. Lol

I didn't mean to emphasize stupid in any way. I think rejection of the current system was inevitable but they fall for lies that are allowed to go unchallenged in a meaningful way. I don't have a problem with optimism but I think ignoring the realities of the end game do us no favours. I would prefer a mix of the two with proper representation of a plan to survive what will come. Lets hope electoral reform actually happens in a way that truly serves the people and not the party. Thanks for your thoughts on all this.

Don't forget, to many children a property. The purpose of procreation is to ensure that your own stupid, narrow sighted, ill-informed views propagate across centuries. Brutal isn't it. I understand that doing something is better than nothing but at the same time you have to allow that the illusion of progress is perhaps more dangerous. It's a conundrum that I fear will be our demise. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this but I'm too stuck in my malaise to be convinced that anyone can see the forest in the trees. Cheers

As I said I won't be reading this post I think it would be hypocritical to read any responses, so I won't be reading this one either. Thanks best buddy!
