Propaganda is a hell of a drug. I've read about similar experiences from Ukrainians with family in Russia.

I think a lot of people would feel free to vote for the representative they truly want instead of feeling forced to vote strategically against someone they don't want

Oh my God you are so right about London politicians.

Remember those useless board of control parasites clinging to their pointless jobs? Or the Liberal legend Joe Fontana?

Yeah, I don't think people wanted Poilievre specifically. They just wanted change.

I wish he'd try working a real job for once in his life.

But realistically, if he we're going to step down willingly it would have occurred last night. We'll see if the party sacrifices another MP to let him stay on. Fucking guy.

Are you young?

The whole saga of how the modern CPC came to fruition was such a back stabby shitshow

Not holding my breath

Actually, I live in the first municipality in Canada to use ranked choice voting-- until the provincial government enacted a bill that disallowed it in 2020.

I've also been around long enough to have voted in the last Ontario referendum on the topic. It did not go well because people didn't understand what was being proposed. Same story for BC's referendum.

I'm merely pointing out the recurring theme over the last couple of decades where the LPC will make electoral reform promises they never fulfill.

We were supposed to get election reform after the liberals won in 2015 and I'm still quite bitter about it

I really would have loved to see PP place 91st but I'll take it

Yeah but does it smell like steak and seat 35?

Demagogue in a Milhouse suit who let the internet bully him out of wearing glasses. Pathetic.
