I agree with your last paragraph almost entirely. The system is not irredeemable, and the people in it are carrying an enormous amount of dysfunction on their backs and making the best of it. They're the 'mitigation' I'm talking about, that's really all we've got to rely on inside the system.

I think it's fair to call it out when people shrug their shoulders. Stop supporting terrible leadership. Stop saying well there's nothing we can do, stopping saying that death by a thousand cuts isn't the problem. Point out that there is money to fix these things and maybe some of that will catch on with others. Pointing out places where tremendous amounts of money have been wasted on nothing when someone complains about healthcare is valid. Just saying this government won't do anything so I better fall in line and find solutions that they like is the only option is just lazy.
Certainly there can be some middle ground but if everyone gives these morons a pass there's zero chance anything will ever be done about it.
Then again the UCP have corruption left and right and have done an absolutely horrible job as a government but the hypocrites in this province, in this thread, will do anything to lick boots because oil or something.
