Why not just vote properly – for someone who will work for you with honour and respect?

A government that seeks to keep a roof over your head over a few extra dollars in their personal bank accounts IS a government that is treating us with honour and respect. The big two don't have any respect for the common Canadian, aside from milquetoast progressive talking points occasionally, or populist bullshit.

If making housing affordable for everyone is a single issue vote then so be it. I can respect that more than a multitude of other idiotic reasons to be a single issue voter.

That may be true, but importantly the hired employee needs to be working for you, not themselves or some other interest. If they already have it figured out how they want to address these problem before they've even talked to you, it is unlikely that they are actually there to do the job they are meant to do.

Of course, it could also be that you are just as lazy and will refuse to speak with your employee after you've hired him. In which case your poor leadership is the true recipe for disaster.
