Grab a coffee, let's talk!
My favorite cup
My daughter in law gave me this cup. She knows me well. Not only do I love my coffee, I have no patience for stupidity or incompetence. Two attributes politics is filled with it. Every week there's a fresh scandal of some description, mostly at the federal level. The temptation to ignore it is strong, but we do so at our own peril. Politicians at every level decide and determine our future. This is not something to take lightly.
Politics is supposed to be taught in high school Social Studies. My recollection of Social class was watching black and white documentaries about wars that happened before I was born. They were boring, I slept through most of it, and my mark reflected that. On the other hand, learning about different types of governments was much more interesting and I did fairly well on those assignments. Unfortunately, my teachers didn't really teach the correlation between the two, or I missed it. Maybe a bit of both. Curiously, I also don't remember learning anything about the levels of government in Canada, and what each is responsible for. Since then I've learned a lot, including I'm not the only one who found themselves a bit in the dark.
Over the last several years I have uncovered two reoccurring themes:
1) Almost everyone hates 'the government', more to the point, politicians.
2) Many don't know which politician or level of government does what.
Hate the government? Which one...?
