I respect Charlie Angus because he has made a career for speaking up for the little guy, the minority and especially Indigenous Canadians.
He’s right on this point … any time a politician speaks, we have to hold them accountable for everything they say, suggest, imply or state outright. They don’t tease or speak off the cuff … everything they say is significant, even if it is from an idiot politician like Turnip.
And we all have a responsibility to call them out on their statements at every instance. If we allow them to overstep once, then they’ll take a step further and if we allow that next step, they’ll take another step again and on and on.
It’s the argument of the slippery slope … allow things to move a bit and its easy to stop … if you allow it to go on too much, too far and too fast … then it is far too difficult to stop.
I wish there was accountability. If you call them out, they gaslight, dodge, lie, etc. They found it’s easier to exhaust their critics than be truthful ever.

We’re already careening down the slippery slope at breakneck speed.
I believe this is a cliff, sir.
We need a democratic method that can be used by the public to oust a politician when they no longer serve the needs of the public.
We need a public that willingly participates in that method.
When half of the electorate stays home, this is the kind of bullshit you end up with.
