    Yeah, but they forgot about the poll question “Do you live in an urban or rural environment?” For that one it appears urban and rural Canadians are 100% divided.

        “…poll analyst think tanks are currently working hard to attempt to explain this disparity.”

    You mean suburban voters are the real “enemy”? No way!

    Of course not. It’s pretty accurate to say that we all want the same things.

    Accessible, affordable housing. Accessible, affordable healthcare. Accessible, affordable nutrition. Accessible, affordable transportation. Accessible, affordable communications. Accessible, affordable recreational opportunities. Income from a source that acknowledges and respects our humanity and our lives outside work. Societal respect for us as both individuals and collectives.

    I’m sure there are others, but I think those are the big ones. I think the only way to bridge the political and ideological and social divides is to go back to these as first principles and shared objectives.

    Common people are never really divided about what they want done to help people

    • better cheaper food
    • cheaper fuel
    • better roads
    • affordable housing
    • higher wages
    • better health care
    • actual universal health care that includes anything and everything that has to do with maintaining your body and mind

    The problems always come when all these issues interfere with the quest for unlimited wealth and power for a handful of deranged psychotic individuals that believe they can become temporary masters of the universe.
