Maybe this belongs in the Canada politics thread, but I just simply can't wrap my mind around the cult of politicians following him like lemmings.
Reason being is that I have contemplated a few times getting into politics myself because I want to help my community, riding, province, country etc. I loved Evan Solomon's interview on election night where he said he wanted to help Canadians and protect them from the US. I believed him.
I have no desire for "power" or prestige - I just think a lot of people currently in politics are idiots and I could do a better job. I would do it for the constituents, then leave if I felt the job was done.
These people? They are doing it for him and their own personal gain. Why not just stay in private sector business and get rich that way?
