Sorry, which "powerful political forces"? A Canadian newspaper?

In keeping with HN guidelines, I don't like to comment on why I flag articles, but I'm going to continue to flag the nearly content-less Basic Income posts that seemingly rocket up the front page a few times a week.

I'm sure there are comprehensive, insightful articles on BI out there. If they're ever posted, I'll probably vote them up.

The article stated that the party that won Canada's most recent election has proposed BI. That's "powerful political forces", at least within Canada.

Sounds like HN is also one of those powerful political forces
