They are a government of the people.
We're just not the right people.
That's why they're spending $400 million to build a parking garage for a private spa being built on public lands under a secret 99 year lease and why they gave an $8 billion gift to wealthy developer friends of the premier by pulling undevelopable land out of the greenbelt.
Unless you have a million dollar yacht that you use as a tender for your billion dollar yacht you're not "the people" that the mandate letters referred to.
This is a great point, he never clarifies which people he talking about. And who does he mean by "folks"?
They never do.
It's like when they say, "We don't want our hard earned money going to provide services for poor people." Unless you own a million dollar yacht that you use as a tender for your billion dollar yacht they're not speaking FOR you, they're speaking ABOUT you. The people who vote for them aren't their people, they're just useful idiots.
