More than a hundred active or recent corporate lobbyists have attended the Conservative Party’s cash-for-access fundraisers since Pierre Poilievre became leader

It amazes me how we all just normalize the idea that whoever gets to fund raise the most has the best chances to get elected.

When money has more of an influence on who gets elected … it isn’t a democracy … it’s a plutocracy, a government system based on money and wealth.

Democracy ended when lobbying bribery became legal and normalized.

Lobbying is just corporate bribery with confusing language

And this is how you can tell he’s for the people and cares about regular Canadians and their dinner-table issues.
