    Warum fühlt sich Kanada so korrupt? – Dies ist kein Land, das auf Gerechtigkeit basiert; Es basiert jedoch auf der Ordnung, die ein Knüppel ist, den die Mächtigen weiterhin gegen die Machtlosen einsetzen.

      I mean democracy is rule by the people, the people voting in corrupt folks, well it is basically no different to a King who appoints corrupt ministers

      „Justice“ has always been a myth sold by the Western neoliberal order to justify its order.

      I’m always reminded of MLK’s letter from Birmingham Jail

      *I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to* ***“order” than to justice***; *who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.*

      Peace, order, and good goverment was a founding principle. Canadians are rule followers by design and we tend to punish people severely for being out of step.

      On a global level Canada is still very low by every corruption measure, but we are still suffering from the rot that is affecting everyone.

      Social media has turned politics into a sport. It’s not longer about good governance or even ideologies. It is about my team beating your team. The average sports fan doesn’t care if their team cheats, only if they win.

      Hmmm, Canada doesn’t feel corrupt to me. Like I can imagine corruption here, definitely (it is populated by humans afterall) and not think it so prevalent that it affects my entire perception.

      I think we are pretty damn amazing and resistent to corruption in Canada as far as governance goes.

      Pardon?

      Canada has politicians with issues, sure. Any grown-up is going to realize that happens when power is involved because of the types of people that power attracts. There are strong arguments that better candidates are needed in party leadership at several provincial and federal levels. But does Canada „feel so corrupt?“ To whom, and for what reason? This smells like psyop bullshit to me.

      Canada isn’t Ontario, and Ontario isn’t the Ford Gov’t (not long term, in any case, and it is corruption, one hopes, that will probably cause his downfall).

      The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Places like Canada had their social fabric and laws built around a system that assumes that humans are intrinsically good and will do the right thing. Our approach assumed that everyone from politicians to people who arrived yesterday will follow the rules.

      The reality is the opposite. People will lie, cheat, scam, and steal if they can get away with it

      The COIA contains a large exemption that many other Western countries don’t have.

      The Power of Ethics Commissioner basically has no enforceability.

      The International Bar Association like a decade ago said our whistleblower protections are maybe the weakest in the West.

      Our parliament are allowed to trade individual equities (same as all Western countries, but still a conflict IMO)

      So I mean there are reasonable critiques to be made. Obviously we do better than some peer countries though.

      It feels corrupt in certain venues and when dealing with large businesses. Banks for example. There was literally no limit on what a bank could charge for an NSF fee until recently.

      Movement is slow on putting in consumer-friendly regulations. Meanwhile businesses like Telus rake in millions from customers just giving up when trying to do something like cancel services, or tiny price-fixing settlements that come after *years* of profiteering.

      It feels like politicians have very little interest in fixing these things.

      Canada isn’t a very corrupt country although we could do better. There are those however who want Canadians to feel that their government is corrupt so they can seize power and be the corrupt

      Because Canada *is* corrupt – the government is 3 monopolies in a trench coat and virtually every public decision now at every level of government is being made to serve business interests rather than provide services to actual people, with the underpinning of trickle-down economics that one day we will all benefit from this.

      And frankly when we run our economy for the express purpose of capital gains it’s not really much of a surprise – our businesses have an incentive to increase their profits through government lobbying, and our government has an incentive to let them via lucrative consulting jobs when they leave office.

      There’s no incentive present anywhere to do anything else, especially considering how complacent our voting public seems to be to just eat up everything the liberals do out of fear it could be worse, without any capacity left to wonder if things could be any other way.

      This is *precisely* why I’m a socialist. We deserve public administration that is directly incentivized to improve living standards for the public, and we deserve an economy that operates as a means to an end, not the end itself. Capital should serve the public and our economic management should be focused primarily on improving social outcomes universally and as equally as possible.
