I think you just effectively demonstrated the cruelty of reform-based politics. Many people here cannot afford to wait for the suburbanites to suspend their capitalist values or develop empathy; how many have died waiting? To suggest that more blood is needed to make this system work is a great example of exactly why it doesn't and will never work to the benefit of our most vulnerable people.
It is also laughable to consider that the majority decides what policies are platformed in the infamously stratified voting system Canada subscribes to.
