Jagmeet Singh, probably the biggest political loser?

She's great. Had no choice but to like here since her show was all we'd watch in the ship's mess, years ago.

If more journalist were like her, it could force politicians to up their game big time or look like total fools in the press.

That doesn’t really matter if they get their policies implemented. Regardless of effectiveness. That’s the point. The NDP have never in recent history been able to do that before.

The policies were never gamed. Sure, they got them passed, but to what effect? They all stand closer to failure than success. So what did they get by holding the country hostage? A lot of money spent and a lot of new gatekeepers and paper shufflers employed. You're giving them credit for making life miserable.

I know everyone is passionate no matter what side they're backing & fighting for. Still, we can all do better, vigourously discussing actions/initiatives without personal attacks, no matter how frustrated we are at the politician in question, whatever colour jersey they happen to wear.
