Then yeah, someone in Ottawa that we also elect should step in and make sure things foundational to the Canadian social contract are followed.

Crazy how every province in the country just breaks that social contract more and more each year requiring feds to encroach further and further.
But ya, that's usually where these conversations end up. People seem to hate the people around them and so hope that someone in Ottawa that aren't representative of their area can make decisions they like more. The fact that the politicians are so far away is almost a positive. Wild logic imo and one I'll never be able to understand.
Decisions and taxes should always be as local as possible. The whole system should be flipped upside down. My municipal government should get most of my money. Infrastructure, healthcare, and education where I live is most important. Then provincial. Then Federal.
I want to live and work and be in the community of the people making decisions. Crazy me I guess
