Worst fucking political party ever. Bunch of corrupt greedy sociopaths the whole lot of them.

Another example that we exist in a plutocracy instead of a democracy.

Our political system runs on money, the people have no power.

During a legislature hearing on Thursday, Antoine Bittar said he had been advocating for tougher drinking and driving legislation when the CAQ offered an opportunity for him and his partner, Élizabeth Rivera, to meet minister Geneviève Guilbault at an October 2023 fundraising cocktail.

Bittar said he and Rivera each paid $100 — the maximum annual political donation — because he felt it was a chance to press their cause and keep it from stagnating. The couple said they were offered four minutes with the minister, two minutes per person.

$50/minute. Barely better than Bell long distance rates.

It's the lawyer that you need for your criminal trial that's the expensive part.
