    This is so dumb.

    The government needs to put it big boy pants on and start putting windfall taxes and tell people like the Westons to break up their businesses and sell them. It’s not normal to have one single family have so much power over something that’s so basic like our means to fucking feed ourselves and profit so much from it.

      But weirdly, every time Singh or the NDP propose things like a windfall tax of better regulation, the comments are dominated by criticisms.

      We can’t just be loud when we criticize. We need to vocally support progressive policies when they come up.

      They’re gonna get right on it! Once they “fix” everything else that’s wrong, but really they’re just going to pass the blame like a bad game of hot potato.
