British Columbia Direct Democracy Party - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently gave $595 million to 'qualifying' journalists. Shortly thereafter the corona pandemic struck leading to a critical need for ventilators. Ventilators cost $10,000 each and BC has a shortage. $595 million is enough to buy 60,000 ventilators. If asked, would BC voters be more likely to support giving $595 million to journalists or would they rather that money be spent on ventilators for hospitals during the most disruptive pandemic in history? We'll never know because voters were never given a say in the matter.

You obviously are entitled to your own opinion, but you are not entitled to your own facts.
