I don't think there was any distraction. We had two shit choices and NDP. And since this country fails to elect NDP time after time, it was a given that we were pretty fucked. The main difference during this election between the parties that I saw were:
-
The Liberal platform didn't contradict itself every point or two
-
The Liberal platform focused a lot more on domestic tourism, accessibility, and making it easier to transport our own goods across provincial borders.
I don't see how bill C-5 fits into any of the platform they put forward.
