Let's talk about this word 'unnecessary' for a moment.
I know you folks have convinced yourselves that better solutions can be found by simply not wasting resources on people and issues you aren't convinced really matter to your taxpaying constituents. You've made it abundantly clear that you aren't really interested in making life better for ALL Ontarians, however much you might dance around that truth. You have your favourites, and we all know who they are, even if we can't see them because they're hiding behind walls of money made from buying and selling assets that we tend to describe as the Working Poor. You may have heard of them, but I suspect you think they are a myth, like unicorns and such. And that's the whole problem with telling people that you know better than they do what is 'necessary', when you clearly haven't even understood the problem presented to you.
Let me put it to you another way: by the time you figure out that you were wrong about the environmental impact of unregulated Capitalism (even as your assumptions and economic theories have been soundly disproved over the last century), there will be no one left alive or in good enough health to tell you why you're dying. I know you think that's hysterical nonsense, or that you've already secured your Get Out Of Jail Free card in advance, but you have no proof to support your point. We HAVE proof of our point, and it's a sad indictment on our times that you people aren't educated enough to comprehend the concept of Unintended Consequences.
So I'm going to explain it to you as quickly as I know how: You do not actually have a Dog-given right of Dominion over any persons, places or things on this planet, to do with as you see fit. Property as we know it is merely a human concept dreamt up to justify not sharing what you've found. That's really all it is. I know you don't understand this, but bear with me. If I were to say I was the rightful ruler of everyone, you could reasonably dismiss my claim as being baseless, because no rich government or wealthy family has endorsed my claim. The trick is, the only thing that gives them the right to dismiss my claim is the social contract we as a society agreed on in order to take part in this society. It's like a legal contract without paper. We know when we're losing ground, because people drift away and forget us. Kinda like how they did the concept of Sun Kings and Pharoahs. And that's where we find ourselves now. If you can't figure out that you have an actual responsibility to ALL Ontarians, no matter how hard you find it to understand and placate the Left-leaning members of our society, then it really is only a matter of time before we dismiss you and find another system to help govern our lives and resources more fairly.
History can be very subjective, it turns out. But we all know where the leaders of the last few failed governmental philosophies ended up. Precedent has been set, and the forces that made those changes possible have not magically disappeared from the planet. You people are basically gambling--with our children's future, I might add--that we won't figure out we're being manipulated and silenced before you prove to the cosmos that Money Worship Works. That will be the epitaph on the memorial we probably won't be alive to erect in your honour, even as a cautionary tale for anyone watching.
Please, prove me wrong about you people. Do the one thing human beings have learned to do that actually redeems us: Change your minds, and recognise what you are doing, not only to your political and ideological opponents, but to the whole planet, which we are still tethered to until we actually figure out how to safely move somewhere else. There is absolutely nothing to be gained from destroying ourselves with myopic policies designed to reinforce Classism and Patriarchy and deny anyone else a voice at the table where the future of our planet is being decided.
If you can't see that you're wrong, you can rest assured, some of us have noticed where you're going wrong. We're here to help. Listen to us. We have nothing to gain from lying to you about this. Only pride stands in the way. And Pride goes before the fall.
Thank you.
