Yet another in a long history of responses to cranky conservatives whose only mode of communication is using things as talking points they don't really care about.
-
We, as in actual socialists, and people with empathy and compassion, do think about working Canadians. We think about them all the time. All the time. But conservatives sure aren't when they vote for people and parties that gut healthcare, education, and what remains of the social safety net.
Conservative voters only seem to use actual working Canadians as a (flaccid) talking point when they attempt a gotcha (and fail).
I think about fully subsidised healthcare, education all the way to the end of uni, daycare, pharmacare, dental, and care for psych/mental health/cognitive/etc issues.
I think about crown corporations that provide service to the country.
I think about how other nations invest in infrastructure when Canada doesn't.
I think about how other nations work to end homelessness and poverty while Canada doesn't.
I think about keeping people from dropping dead at my feet so they can live another day to improve for their kids.
I think about the fact that not everything is about my personal convenience, and that I can sacrifice a little bit of comfort to keep someone else going.
I also think about how I can say all that without once insulting another person's intellect.
