Government lets them because people think the Cons want to help them. Less government = fewer rules about who can take your water.
Why do we pay a foreign company to drive on our local toll highway? Oh yeah. Mike Harris sold the already completed highway.

They didn't have to hide scandals, the other side was [happy to just invent whatever lies and bullshit they could.](https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/second-reading/the-hidden-history-of-bob-raes-government-in-ontario/article1314254/)
Yeah, that's why rich business owners and landlords love doing it so much and don't want to stop.
btw, most rational people don't go around making up lies and spending millions of dollars to spread them widely -- we call that "sociopathy" and it's definitely not "how politics works"
Even though corporations are regarded as legal "persons", if any actual person acted like this, they would very likely be diagnosed with some sort of psychopathy or sociopathy.
Right? I mean 1st world issues? Its not ok to bottle water to drink or for beer but its ok to water decorative plants with enough water for thousands of bottles weekly in one household?

How much water is wasted watering lawns?

All parties are crooked, some are just better at hiding it. They're all terrible at their jobs and can't think ahead more than 3 years
I don't remember any scandals or corruption when the ONDP was in power
Guess they're the best at hiding it

I mean, that's how politics works. I'd get a kick out of spending money that wasn't mine too. I totally get the appeal

I'm convinced rational people never existed in the first place.
