That the real source of the problem though, isn't it?

The lack of citizen participation in our democracy. That's one thing I admire about the system in the US and France. Anybody can represent themselves and get elected. I feel in Canada it's a lot more complicated.

    I don't know much about the political landscape in France, but in the US you have to be wealthy to achieve political office above a certain level. When's the last time a poor person became their President?
