Still probably much better than the alternative.

Although, as long as the populace allows corporations to financially incentivize politics, corruption is going to be the default mode.

It is legitimately not even as simple as Canadians wanting to do something given that corporations have shown that they are very very willing to flee countries to others if they don't like the policy there.

Redditors and Lemmings are quite frankly, naiive children in their approach to politics. Just picking the most "altruistic" path and ignoring the realities of the way the world works is not going to bring about the outcome you want.

So, you think we should cater to corporations in fear of them leaving?

I say good riddance. The companies in question cry all the time about open market and healthy competition when it suits them, all the while doing every shady thing they can in the background to monopolize, dominate and capitalize.

I’m not sure what altruism you are referring to, though posting on a lemmy forum, saying that all “Lemmings” are a specific way, while clearly demonstrating that you exemplify it, is interesting to me.

Edit. Ask != all
