Sadly Mark, that appears to be the case with this lot. 

We can only hope and pray (in an inclusive, non-Christian manner of course) that one day we can have a government led not by an autocrat but by a plurality of people like Judy Rebick, Ross Harvey, Svend Robinson, Elizabeth May, Harsha Walia, Janaya Khan, Maude Barlow and Linda McQuaig. 

BTW, what is your preferred pronoun? Mine are "zhe" and "zhir".
