First and foremost Canadians need to stop participating in elections en masse. This so called "voting with your feet" only works when the vast majority of citizens express their disgust at what passes for professional politicians in Canada by refusing to participate in such a rigged process.
A total and complete abandonment of the two parties who solely have run Canada for the last century or so. Yes both parties have occasionally stepped up and taken control during a crisis and actually provided good governance at least on the occasional issue. It's the everyday propaganda, lies and bullsh** constantly fed to the people that enrages me. Both the Liberals and Conservatives have totally ignored transparency and accountability when it suits their purposes. Both parties have abandoned the public interest (think climate change) in order to reassure their corporate donors (think oil & gas). That said I would agree that the Conservatives aren't even trying regarding the climate change portfolio other than in name.
First past the post elections need to end. Trudeau promised they would but he's just one more liar among many. Every vote must count and must have some weight and bearing on the outcome. This is called proportional representation and the Liberals and Tories hate it. Guess why?
Whether the NDP, Greens and others would rise strong from such a radical turnaround I do not know but the Libs and Cons can't just change names and come back with the same faces and money behind them. They are both inherently and intrinsically corrupt and need to be booted to the curb whether for a five, ten or twenty year timeout or even forever I do not know. Yes experience counts when governing a country but so does entrenched corruption and the best definition of that is self-serving rule versus ruling in the public interest.
Geez even with mistakes and errors made by inexperienced rulers it still would be so great to believe that all levels of our governments are ruling in the true public interest.
