Platypus: Someone once said that you couldn't call Trump a liar… because he doesn't know what the truth is. A liar is someone who knowingly, deliberately says things that are untrue.

Emily Semple appears to be a nice woman who says nice things. She wants free transit for everyone. She wants to solve homelessness. She wants to fight climate change. She wants to prevent urban sprawl. She literally says that choices are "simple."

In particular, giving everyone free transit would be simple: We would just have to find someone else to pay for the service with some kind of tax. But it doesn't  appear that Semple has quite gotten to the point of seeing that things she says—and might try to achieve if elected—have costs that someone has to pay, and that figuring out who benefits and who pays is not simple at all.

Semple isn't hypocritical: more naive. Let's hope that a majority of voters aren't so naive as to vote for her.
