Maybe, but she’s not the Trudeau loving NDP! She’s the kind of blowhard we can get behind!

It might be easy to explain, but it is less effective at proportionally distributing power and more likely to keep the two party system going. That’s why the LPC supported it, because they hoped it wouldn’t really change anything.
MMP is the best system though, I don’t see why the NDP pushing for it is considered bad. You really only get one shot at electoral reform, why put in a system like STV that’s barely any better? Pleanty of other countries use MMP without issue.
There absolutely was a consensus. Trudeau created a commission on electoral reform to find out what the best system for Canada would be. That commission came back that a Proportional Representation system was the recommendation. That’s not the answer Trudeau wanted (himself favoring a watered down STV) and so he canceled the whole idea.
Too bad the idea of LNG being cleaner than coal is largely overstated and can sometimes be worse.
This is, as usual, all about maintaining the status quo and keeping money flowing to fuel companies.
Absolute /s implied.
Want to know something really scary? I have a friend who’s friend circle includes some crazy “conservatives” and he says the right is getting crazier and stronger by the day. You know how they ousted Kenny for not being right wing enough? Well they’re planning against Daniel now because she won’t make all vaccines illegal, outlaw abortion, etc.
This is just the tip of the iceberg here and Regressives are actively consuming what’s left of the UCP. Fun times ahead.
