Only looking at the bad isn’t realistic either.
A large bloc didn’t vote. Donald Trump never went past 49% in approval rating.
People said the same thing about the national government in New Zealand before they got mixed-member proportional in 1993. Self-defeatist thinking is not productive.
We must keep pressuring the liberals.
Pierre Poilievre has promised that he would force parliament to sit for the first 100 days to get his doge style cuts.
The morning after Carney’s champagne bubbles have dissipated, the terrifying threats facing our country must become his singular focus. Trump’s economic wrecking ball. A revived and newly emboldened Western secession movement. Declining faith in politicians and democracy, coupled with a perhaps not entirely unfounded belief that governments have lost the ability to tackle the fundamental problems of our time.
Underlying all of these challenges is one that could potentially compound them all: an archaic electoral system that is no longer fit for purpose, which is sliding Canada inexorably toward an entrenched, adversarial two-party duopoly not unlike the one Americans are stuck with.
If Preston Manning and Andrew Coyne are reading the room accurately, a Carney victory could be the final straw for the many Albertans who have long felt ignored and disrespected by the Liberals under Trudeau. Unless Carney wants to deal with a trade war and a national unity crisis at the same time, he will need to take immediate action to address their legitimate concerns.
If Carney were smart (and we have every reason to believe that he is), he would take the one action that would simultaneously strengthen our democracy, address the grievances of Western separatists and create optimism by rebuilding the public trust in government that Justin Trudeau so foolishly squandered. And this potent instrument is within easy reach.
A bold move by Carney to quickly implement proportional representation would not only be the right thing to do, it would solve multiple problems elegantly and efficiently. Not only would he be breaking definitively from Justin Trudeau’s legacy and finally removing the stench of betrayal that continues to linger over the Liberal Party, he would be neutralizing the threat of a constitutional crisis that a fourth Liberal term could trigger by helping to reduce the polarization that is driving Canadians apart.
It's just like the time they left the fediverse and shut down their instance.
He said he would like to explore the topic at a later date and has claimed a prime minister should be neutral on the topic.
I like the comaps name!
The conservative corruption is really starting to hit Alberta.
