      I don't even engage with them anymore. The polls are so low that any Lib/NDP defender's input means absolutely nothing. They're not going to win next round, they're not worth entertaining in any conversation.
      If someone on the street tells you the sky is purple, you don't engage with them. You nod and walk away. Treat them same, as their input weighs the same.

    Drummond and co. have been saying, "oh, but the debt will be paid by our grandchildren" for years. Meanwhile, housing prices have skyrocketed, wages have stagnated, and a huge market in precarious jobs has emerged, which complicates his picture of low unemployment. If he was an honest power broker he would just say what he means: poor and middle income Canadians have to accept declining standards of living, and the rich will continue to accumulate even more. The endless economic growth for all that was apparently in view when Drummond reached his career peak is long gone. "That is the law and the profits."
