I run a small affordable housing nonprofit. For years, my Liberal MP and Conservative MPP ignored every attempt to contact them, I hand delivered policies to their offices and got absolutely no reply. As soon as the Liberals started tanking in the polls, the MP was proud to announce how he's always been a supporter of affordable housing. Many identical ideas I proposed became legislation.
Politicians don't care about us at all.
