Yeah media outlets need to start saying "Conservatives bring up this week's false outrage, moral panic and pearl clutching"

Have you paid any attention the Green party lately? They're a total mess.

Why not ndp?

Fucking garbage article and headline.

You got me to read the thing, just to see what could possibly be so offensive about it. It's a pretty good summary of the situation for an audience that might not be too familiar with Canadian politics. Don't blame the messenger.

The other parties can table this too can't they?

It's completely stupid and only plays to the most powerful and wealthy elite in this country ... no matter if they are Liberal or Conservative

The Liberals will keep promising things like proportional representation but never deliver on it .... they'll keep pandering to leftist ideals just enough to sway voters but never enough to follow through. They'll keep playing the game of hoping that everyone will not go with Conservatives while balancing themselves to leaning right enough that no one will notice.

I'm Indigenous Canadian and I grudgingly support the Liberals because they have done a lot for Indigenous Canada. They could do more but they always seem to hold back on everything ... giving us just enough to keep us from completely revolting against them. We also know that the alternative of the Conservatives would mean we Indigenous people would lose just about everything we've gained in the past decade (which sounds like a lot but it isn't .... to non-Native Canada, any gain we achieve always feel like too much).

In all, like every other first world country .... we don't exist in a democracy ... we exist in a plutocracy or oligarchy where only the wealthy and most powerful people get to direct our national politics. People don't have a say ... those with money do.

Always has been

Always will

At this point, PR would significantly help the Greens and NDP, and harm the BQ and Liberals badly. The LPC has no interest in doing this. They're not altruistic. Remember, they forced an election in the heat of the pandemic in order to consolidate power.

They have also proven to be totally uncommitted to top line promises. I don't really see how they're a party worth voting for.

I think he still has one chance - which he almost certainly won't take.

Announce that he'll step down when this term is up, and immediately hold a short leadership race, with the new leader vying for a brand new PM position.

To sweeten the pot, he could toss in proper PR electoral reform. It would throw cabinet into chaos, but the Greens and NDP would probably support it; and Trudeau would go down in history with the likes of Tommy Douglas as someone who fundamentally changed Canada for the better.

But his ego is too big for the first item, and the party is too scared to let him pull off the second.

So we're likely stuck with a fucking Christofascist neo-Nazi for our next PM.

I would take the delay along with the implementation of policies like pharmacare, and then have Poilinever having to either promise to not touch it or say he'll cut it during the election campaign, thank you very much. There's a lot that can happen till the next fall. Inflation is down, mortgages are falling, who knows what could come out about Pipsqueak till then.

Don't know why you're being downvoted. I agree completely.

I've voted for Trudeau's Liberals since 2015 but I'm not casting another vote for them - not with him at the helm, nor Freeland for that matter.

If he had developed his bench and elevated others' profiles so he could pass the torch or brought in Carney earlier, then we'd have options but he's set the table this way. The ship will go down with him.

I'm not some F*ck Trudeau lunatic but he's been PM for nearly a decade - its time to go, dude.

I honestly can't think of the last PM who didn't overstay their welcome.
