Both of those are great programs to help people, and I'm glad we are catching up to countries in Europe in providing them to all citizens. It sucks that the LPC could not figure out how to do it on their own, but if it takes a LPC-NDP partnership to do it, well, that's fine with me.

Thomas Douglas worked with Trudeau Sr. and got Canadians universal health care. Not because it lead Thomas Douglas to 24 Sussex but because universal health care benefited Canadians. Jagmeet Singh seems like a guy more concerned with Canadians than his political fortunes, which is honestly a...

It might. But I think sacrificing Singh for a national dental plan and pharmacare is a fair trade.

LPC- 33.12 NDP-15.98 33.12+15.98= 49.1 Close as we are going to get in generations to the majority of Canadians voting for the ruling party/parties Also very funny to see the CPC attack the NDP directly for once. Usually they leave them alone hoping that high NDP numbers hobble the LPC, but...

I like 1918, mixed things up. War then pandemic.

They may not vote for Trudeau, but they wont be voting CPC either.

Chretien is the 5th longest serving Canadian PM, with 3 majority wins. Martin sucked. Mulcair sucked. So in recent history, those with the most experience in politics have been the most successful, Harper and Trudeau. Maybe Freeland changes this, maybe not. But it remains, the CPC made a big...

Probably a Chretien, a Martin, or a Mulcair. It would be just a tad hypocritical for the CPC to have made such a big deal about Trudeaus lack of experience (everyone remembers the nice hair attack ads, yes?) and then run with PP. Just like it would be hypocritical for the LPC to attack PP on...

Its the news reporting on the military. LSVWs are armored vehicles, lavs are tanks, Vuong held prestigious positions, rhe list goes on.

He could, except Canadians are not fans of being dragged off to the polls for purely partisan reasons. Woe to any party that forces an election it seems. Justin Trudeau will bide his time, and probably do his full mandate before making that mistake again, if the opposition lets him of course...

Proof of this? :unsure:

Nice to know Doug Ford and Jason Kenney are done then :ROFLMAO:

The election was closer than the vote result shows, but not in the way youre thinking. Liberals needed 10 more seats to hit 170. 1 Charleswood-St. James-Assiniboia-Headingley CPC 17,336-LPC 17,312=34 2 NL Coast of Bays-Central-Notre Dame CPC 14,925-LPC 14,661= 264 3 Châteauguay-Lacolle BQ...

Ranked ballot? Do the CPC come ahead of the LPC or NDP in terms of second votes? PR? Does the PM not have enough dance partners in the NDP and BLOC to govern/get a coalition? MMP? Same as PR? FPTP is the best shot the CPC has at winning an election.

Two things. 1st thing What system could be used that the CPC would have won? 2nd thing Running up the vote in places like Alberta where they are going to win every seat anyways isn't a great strategy under FPTP, but winning the popular vote is a nice participation trophy I suppose.

It did. Although I think everyone was aware that Dion and Ignatieff were wet noodles as leaders. The assumption was it didnt matter who was leader of the LPC so long as everyone hated Harper as much as progressives did. The same mistake the CPC is making now.

Must suck for the CPC to keep losing to the "worst PM in Canadian History".

Just so you know, and you can block me now if you want, but I have a habit of reminding people of their awful hot takes months if not years later.

The man says he will, there is no sign of a palace coup, and the CPC have not shown they can win. If Trudeau wins the next election he ties for most election wins for a prime minister. There also isnt a great time for a leadership contest in a minority government. He is going to run again.
