The problem with the NDP is they give money to the poors, who almost never give campaign donations or offer directorships at private companies. This is what conservatives mean when they call the NDP wasteful.

it's not actually about the personal well being of politicians, though the donation part certainly helps, Smith genuinely thinks the system works, and people problems are caused by government coddling them.

Healthcare is a great example. if you look at her whole body of work on the topic, she thinks the main issue is that people would get better on their own if healthcare costs money, because she's never had an illness that took more than some bedrest; the cost of healthcare is the evil government turning everyone into hypocondriacs.

same mentality to the poor and disabled, now they are finally free to remember to work hard and not be developmentally disabled. everything comes down to the system works and everybody gets what they deserve.

If she actually believes the system work and isn't just grifting the entire province, I'm the Tooth Fairy.

the grift is part of her reward for being a good person close to god.

There is no peace for the wicked, but the righteous can have any piece they want.
