I agree that this has been true much of the time but the NDP won a majority lead by Bob Rae back in 1990. I was a young Liberal voter at the time and recall everyone being shocked. Unfortunately we were in a significant economic downturn. They took a page out of the idea of right sizing rather than down sizing with what became known as Rae days. No one had to lose a job, they just put in less hours and everyone got paid less. But no one got paid zero. Lots of generalizations there but you get the idea.

Marit Stiles and her team are doing a creditable job of holding a majority government to account. They are actively working to make people aware of what the Conservatives are trying to pull. They are using social media to expose how big business is gouging us, proposing viable solutions and giving people the opportunity to find their voice and speak their mind.

Maybe we will turn a corner next election if people get tired of the buffoonery.
