As well as being negative, it has positives, because everybody knows everybody, so hopefully you can find the one person who will support you, help you, give you the transportation you might need, or at least listen to you and maybe share resources.
What I would really like to say is that I think our government system shows abuse. In question period, I would really like to see the government give an example of working positively together. When somebody stands up and says that this is what they think we could do, then the other party could say, “Gee, what about that?”, rather than saying it's a really stupid idea.
I would like it to start at the top, where we should show respect and listen and care about other people.
Sorry. That's my little political bugaboo.
