There's a confidence and supply agreement between the other two parties. Otherwise the Libs would still be in power.

You can choose to remain blind, most Canadians do. But this stuff is hurting our reputation abroad and hurting us internally. You just wait until the Infrastructure Bank is the big sell off of our public assets to Bay St.

If you need more tangible examples look at how real estate money has corrupted Vancouver and Toronto. Citizens can't afford a home as politicians who take big bucks from developers say "nothing we can do!"

Look at the NEB corruption with the pipeline through Quebec. Sure, they were forced to scrap it when the story came out but no one was punished.

How about guys like Senator Yuen Pau Woo. An Aussie senator resigned to public outrage after he made the exact same kind of comments Woo made about the South China sea. Only Woo said that in the house during a speech and he's now the HEAD of the indie senators.

Our politicians fly to taiwan courtesy of a business group with criminals on its board to "meet them" and nothing happens.

Site C in BC kicking people off their land for a legacy building boondoggle. I can do this all day.

It just goes on and on.

Seriously. I'm not joking. We're in trouble.
