Given the partisan vitriol he spread today I hate to defend this but:
There is a 99% chance that after the by-election, he will once again be the leader of the opposition and therefore live in that house again.
So with hubris and laziness he is saving our tax dollars by not having to pay for him to move twice in less than a year. Andrew Scheer gave him permission for this as well.
I didn't watch the video but the headline is clickbait and this is a nothing story.
Yes but it would inconvenience him. And inconveniencing him is worth the money.
I, too, find his behaviour and politics so distressing these days that I get where you are coming from.
But I decided I didn't want to feel that way. So, I redirected the time and energy I used to doomscroll into setting a better example and doing something about it.
I joined Fairvote.ca and organized for their recent door hanger campaign to raise awareness on proportional representation. I also attend their monthly Zoom meetings to educate myself on how proportional representation works, how it reduces polarisation, and how it decreases the inflammatory and partisan words in political speech.
I'm shocked at how many people in my life suddenly perked up and said, " Where can I learn more?"
I know you didn't ask, but this polarised hate feels bad, and it doesn't hurt to share a way of coping that has made my life more centred.
