Probably the same reason Americans can't get rid of Trump

Voter turnout was less than 50% both times, and here in Canada we have a HUGE political ignorance problem. Way too many people here are completely disengaged from politics and it’s entirely their fault, too.

Conservatives vote for him because they are stupid as hell. He’s massively, overtly corrupt but he wears blue so they vote for him.

Bobby Broccoli recently did a whole series on how his brother came to power and what the dynamics at play are. It’s like 5 hours long, but worth a watch if you’re interested: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAB-wWbHL7VvVT1LbcOIkqkowoZry6Rfd

He was elected provincially, only Ontario gets to decide.

The other main party, the Liberal party, was lead by a wet paper towel that had some fairly weak stances on some subjects that people didn't like.

There is a 3rd main party, the NDP, that had been elected about 30 years ago during a financial crisis, and because of their performance, the people around at the time have vowed to never vote for them again.

Combine that with our First-Past-The-Post voting system, which translates 40%, 25%, and 25% of the votes for each party (Conservative, Liberal, NDP) to 70%, 25%, and 5% of the power for each party (Conservative, NDP, Liberal). There is also the Green party which makes up for the remaining percentages.

I think all of the above is stupid and wish it were better.

As a Canadian I have no clue why not. The guy is a crackhead "lite" version of america's Mangolini with the charisma of a used car salesman. Somehow there's still enough idiots in this country that can sniff out and vote for fellow morons.

Look at the charismatic chucklefuck he is. He also has a superpower - he's a politician who can say sorry. He does some corruption or outright stupid shit for a few billion, says sorry, dials it back and we're back in love with him. It's the Onterrible way.

yeah yeah yeah, whatever. How do you look this fucking drunk in a lemmy comment.

I live in Ontario.

In the last provincial election, ~60% of the eligible voters didn't vote.

Of those who did vote, half voted for a Conservative, and we've had Doug Ford for the past eight years.

Bigger question is why don't more ppl vote. Election turnouts are going down (by policy aka systematic or by choice aka disillusionment)

For stuff like this and hospital privatization.

I couldnt agree more

Why? Speed cameras are just speed bumbs to knock people down from unsafe speeds at critical sections usually.
