Good on them for trying. Faking being progressive until you're in power should come with actual repercussions, like when smaller parties were getting traction on voter reform where the liberals were like "oh, we want that too! We will totally do that and we're the better tactical vote!"

And when they got into power Trudeau was immediately like "ah, is that what that means? Oh we definitely don't want that lol oopsie heehee."

It's hard to organize our intent when our representatives can just bold face lie and never even get a slap on the wrist when they pull the rug.

If I lie to a customer at my near minimum wage job id get fired for lack of basic ability or decency. Why do I have more responsibility and accountability than the people running our country?

We see south of the border where a two party system leads us.
