Three candidates, three debates. Why are we having an election, again?
Former NDP Minister of Finance and CBC commentator格雷厄姆·斯蒂尔（Graham Steele）joins us for the hour to unpack the parties, the policies, the leaders, and why, quite frankly, it probably doesn’t matter if you vote in this election or not. I mean, did you know that season three ofUnbreakable Kimmy Schmidt在Netflix上吗？
Also, there’s some weird stuff going on in Premier McNeil’s home riding regarding property swaps.
格雷厄姆·斯蒂尔（Graham Steele）并没有摆脱政治和政治说话的有经，鉴于他在积极的政治中如此长时间的评论仍然绘制了他的评论，这不太可能发生。他是如此小心，在他对布里奇敦学校的评论中是如此自我保护，我认为他的舌头可能会扭曲，突然反叛。蒂姆，您的评论有实质性，尽管我不同意所有人。这就是聆听，参与，思考和反思，可能改变或修改的钩子。
May I suggest you engage non-politically-aligned subjects for these conversations in future? – you and we listeners will have a better shot at hearing authentic, challenging opinion, hopefully from guests who aren’t concerned with covering their own asses and making vapid, superficial semi-defenses of a toxic, dysfunctional, archaic political system.
说得好。当斯蒂尔先生坚持说：“我不相信左翼/右翼”的政治措施时，他就像一些失败的吹牛者一样 - 都是热空气，没有效果。DAL的教学管理“法律”似乎是正确的。您是麦克尼尔（McNeil）留下的问题的很大一部分。感谢您的格雷厄姆（Graham）。
I found this conversation interesting. I agree with Graham Steele that party loyalists voters are a problem. I am in favour of critical thinking. Basing one’s vote on the quality of the candidate sounds good but getting to truly know the candidates is pretty difficult. Solve that one for me. How is that done?
Agreed, it is difficult. Each riding needs a variety of public opportunities to see the candidates interact with each other and with the public. Our current system relies on citizen volunteers and groups to organize these events, often at a prohibitive cost. And our current system favours those who can take the time away from their careers to campaign full time, particularly in such a short election. (Full disclosure: I am a candidate in an HRM riding, and these are very real pain points for me).
我认为选举改革，尤其是固定选举日期，是该过程的重要组成部分。
