Thursday Thoughts: Us vs. Them
Can different political parties get along? Are they elected to work together to run the country and represent their constituents to the best of their ability?
Canadian politics is a great example. In the last government, the ruling Liberals held a minority in parliament, meaning the other parties could band together and call for an election at any time.
Did they? No. Did they use that leverage to help the Canadian citizens by agreeing to support the Liberals in return for getting better prescription drug coverage and the implementation of universal dental care?
You bet they did. Now every Canadian, regardless of who they voted for, benefits. That’s how it’s done, folks.
Now let’s get working on eye care, shall we?
