45% is a majority with no oversight, no opposition.
Good job on that election reform.
The conservatives can take their expensive party donors and go fuck themselves
The liberals and ndp could form an alliance to pass proportional representation and then immediately call another election.
I have to assume most liberals don't actually want that to happen, and the cpc would go hard on calling it undemocratic.
The liberals just have to put their feet up and wait for 4 years of conservative leadership to piss people off, then they will be back in the driver seat. No need fix any underlying issues.
The Nova Scotia liberals got so desperate this last election that they promised electoral reform.
So everyone other than the conservatives were in support of it, but they still couldn't cooperate to run candidates strategically.
I think Propositional Representation would take far too long to implement before the next election. Ranked Ballot might be possible?
The liberals got in their previous terms promising electoral reform. They have failed to change anything and promising to do it next time is just an empty promise that nobody believes will happen at this point.
Come on Canada - we can't be worse than fucking America.
I mean, our national identity is pretty much just America but slightly better, and the USA is setting a really, really low bar right now
Just watch
We have been worse than America for years. You might be bankrupt by healthcare in the US but you'll at least get it.
America's housing crisis isn't as bad as Canada and their wages are better for highly skilled or highly educated workers. It is common for someone to get a decent education in Canada then go work in America and pray they don't need any serious healthcare.
We fucked
Trudeau has to go. Jagmeet also. (Before the federal election)
At least Jagmeet is better than petulant petey (a low bar to be sure).
Being not the worst is a pretty dogshit way to run a country, and yet it has been that way for decades.
Oh no comparison, but many of the people who vote for PP wouldn't vote for Jagmeet or whoever replaces him.
