Eh the smaller parties didn't resonate with people so much this time around and we were closer to a 2-party state in the past. I mean we had the unionist party supplant the conservatives and liberals during ww1.

Being negative is cheap and doesn't inspire anyone. That's what the powerful few want. I want to hear solutions not complaining.

People need to stop buying animal products and demand our politicians invest in renewables and public transit.

Too many people have protested against bike lanes and apartment buildings when those are much better for the environment. So yeah let's not the individuals off the hook completely.

People continue to use the big 6 banks that finance the fossil fuel industry when they could switch to credit unions instead.

You don't succeed the first time. That's why you adjust and try different methods.

No one cares enough to force change.

That's certainly not true as the canadians give the liberals a minority so they're forced to compromise with the smaller parties that's how we got universal heatlhcare.

Ahh, here's the tankie...

You're responsible for Donald Trump getting elected because you just focused on attacking democrats relentlessly then foolishly claimed that voting is "pointless"

Get out of here with your authoritarian tendencies.

Australia would probably deny him entry like they did with Cadence Owens before he would even reach the city.

Stop using Zuckerberg's services and just use Friendica instead!

We shouldn’t push for a referendum as those have a high likelihood of failing, New Zealand and Switzerland were very lucky in getting theirs passed.

Most countries get their system of proportional representation when the mps under different banners work together to pass it. We must pressure the conservatives and liberals to support electoral reform!

Canada has had 9 failed referendums:
