I've smartened up. Now I realized politicians @ any level of gov't never will hire me for paid work, no point in wasting my valuable time & resources to help on their campaigns or office for free. Since they love to hire white people or young people. When people show you who they are, believe them

He may not have known it when he said it, but that was the end. You have to be a sick bastard to come up with that as your defense.
First, it was the Ontario Liberals who forced taxpayers to completely fund people's university education for free. That angered everyone & luckily ended. Many people don't pay off their student loans for decades, rather pay interests. www.cbc.ca/player/play/... #ONpoli

With invention of the internet, computers & cell phones, you would believe that people's brain would too but it seems there are so many stupid people. They look at people with black + brown eyes & obsessed that they must be "Chinese" when they're not. When told they're Cdn, racists' minds blow up.
Reasons people don't like to apply/work in Gov. of Canada: *min 1 to 2 yrs job app process *Can't apply to internal jobs due to restrictions to your own dept, geography AND pay scale *Need French to progress in career or good job *Forever temp status *Layoffs every few yrs *Promotion takes decades

It's so dangerous for women/girls to work. Workplaces are filled with rapists, sexual assaults, sexual harassment, misogyny, #sexism, toxic masculinity, mother penalty, etc. Women are told to lie they're engaged in order to be safe b/c only when a woman is property of a man is she off-limits. /1

So wrong that a wife beater is a lawmaker, no wonder why women's rights have been turned backwards & 0 is done to create laws against gender-based violence, violence against women. When you have a pedophile & rapist as a leader, that type of people are accepted #USpoli
