Canada

This is another bullshit play straight out of the MAGA playbook. Undermine the current administration so you can campaign that we need to vote for them to fix it.

Trump got republican senators to block a bipartisan bill that would have allocated more funding to the border patrol needed to address illegal immigration, then used immigration as a campaign issue.

PP gets conservative MP to hinder the liberal’s efforts to address the affordable housing crisis so he can push his narrative of how the CPC will ‘build the homes” that the liberals failed to do.

It makes me angry that is going to work.

Based on experience south of border or in AB - all the dissent goes out the window and everybody falls in line come election time. I'd like to believe that any of the major Canadian parties has members genuinely caring for their constituencies but given our electoral system and governing system that is out the window as hyper-partisanship is a natural step in current system's evolution. Parties prevent democracy by forcing their members to follow party line and not their electorate needs.

LMFAO, get fucked CPC, you and the Liberals haven't represented anyone other than corporations in years.

You picked your pile of dogshit, CPC MPs, go roll around it in.

I don't know if I'm naive and this happens all the time, but it feels like an import of our neighbours base partisanship against ANYTHING the liberals propose based on it coming from them and not from the cons.

Disappointed, but unfortunately not surprised.

Just perfectly on-brand.

"This is no time to play politics with housing," one Conservative source said. "Cities are entitled to their fair share of the pie, even if it comes from the Liberal government."

That sums it up.
