How about you flip that flag for a start.

Read about what it means before you leave embarassing comments.

Canada isn't in distress because you didn't get the result you wanted Ivan.

[+] [email protected] -16 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Agree to disagree, I guess. Bet you'd sing a different tune if your party kept losing due to disproportionate representstion. And is Ivan some kind of new slang I missed out on?

Yes! Voter reform needs to happen, the fact that the ndp and block got almost the same amount of votes, but fewer seats, and thus are under represented is abhorrent. Same goes to the non con voters in Alberta and Saskatchewan. They suffer under the rule of the cons against their will

Even with a reform, the CPC would not have gained enough seats to lead the parliament.

| | 🔴 LPC | 168 | 177 | 156 | 163 | | 🔵 CPC | 143 | 134 | 148 | 141 | | ⚜️ BQ | 23 | 18 | 23 | 24 | | 🟠 NDP | 7 | 14 | 15 | 15 | | 🟢 GP | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | | 🟣 PPC | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | Distortion | 5.1 | 6.2 | 2.5 | 3.2 |

To blame the current voting system doesn't change the outcome at this moment, and reflect the will of the ~~majority~~ largest group of voters for a single party.

Oh yes I do agree that vote reform wouldn't have made the cons win.

and reflect the will of the majority of voters.

That part i don't fully agree with, as the majority of votes weren't cast for the liberals.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Sorry, wrong word. I mean the largest group of voters.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Ah yes, fully agree there, I think it's the plurality of votes

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I don't have a party.

Yeah, apparently.

And you are crying into your beer because a party didn't read the room and their leader shot them in the leg.

Also don't assume shit about me.

It really doesn't matter what it means.

It's disrespectful and embarrassing. You can voice your negative opinions all you want and I'll respect that. This country isn't perfect and we've never been more divided.

But you dishonour the men and woman who died defending the very ground you stand on.

I'm disappointed that people like you think this is acceptable.

I suggest not being anti Canadian, but you do you buckaroo.

You could move to America instead of being a canker sore here.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm not going anywhere.
