I'm talking about credible solutions. No system is perfect, but the one we have is likely the best one in the world. No one says that you can't complain, but at least provide tangible solutions to the issues you see.
Problems like the transalta scam are just noise if we're talking big picture changes, same for the price of gas. I'd argue that the government here does work for the people, I don't see the same systemic issues that plague the US system. Folks might not like Harper, but at least we can change the channel in 4 years if we don't like the results.
The movement has been hijacked by the fringe, I'm sorry but the ideas put forth aren't realistic. How do we move away from a monetary system? How do you eliminate the consumerist culture? Some people might be minimalists, but that doesn't fly for everyone. How do you motivate people to be productive members of society if there isn't any reward?
