Tupac Amaru Shakur would have been 50 today. A complicated man and a brilliant artist. These words are still applicable today.

Replying to @GreenPartyAB
The 30% + electorate who didn't show up are the spoilers, the FPTP system is the spoiler. People have a right to vote for whomever they want, it's the system that needs to change. How long are we going to play this game of voting out of fear?

I have had a tour of the NDP sausage factory and I find now that I can no longer eat the sausages made. I will support the party from afar but I will no longer hold a membership or donate. I thought I was joining the party of Tommy Douglas. I was very much disappointed.
