- Lowered the minimum wage for workers under 18 (Brutal move from the worker’s point of view but also put business owners at risk of having a human rights complaint filed against them if they were naive/greedy enough to pay their employees the reduced wage)
- Bought a pipeline (The project was cancelled as expected and the taxpayers are out over $1B)
There’s more but are you not seeing a trend in who their policies are designed to help? Hint: It’s not the majority of people who live here.
