I know the chances are very, very slim, but I'd love to see the people of Battle-River-Crowfoot vote ABC and make that little weiner lose again.

There are so many hilarious opportunities with this by-election.

-91 candidates run and he comes in 91st

-Trudeau also runs there and wins

-He runs, loses, and repeats the process until the Liberals have a majority

Not only is the food bad, expensive, and slow, but it's also unhealthy. They fuck up orders constantly and the dining area in unpleasant to be in due to the incessant beeping. That business has literally no redeeming qualities.

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
