Canada's politics part of the problem? - The Hill Times

Canada's politics are part of the problem, according to former NDP MP Charlie Angus, who accuses leaders of gaslighting the public and misrepresenting facts to push policy. Speaking on May 24 on his Meidas Canada Network YouTube channel, Angus criticized several premiers for misrepresenting facts to push policy. He points to Danielle Smith, Tim Houston, and Doug Ford as examples of this trend.

Angus argued these tactics undermine trust in government, raise taxpayers' costs in potential court challenges, and threaten Indigenous rights by painting First Nations actors as threats. The piece frames politics as a warning about standards of ethics and transparency, urging accountability as policy debates intensify across provinces.
