    So because the cons moved further right the Liberals followed them and now we have a conservative style government because we didn’t want fascism. Congratulations Canada.

      This is exactly how FPTP inevitably results in a 2-party system.

      Obviously the LPC only views electoral reform as a cheap trick to garner votes.

      Maybe the NDP can come back with such a promise?

      Unless the LPC noticeably improves peoples lives in the next 12 months we’re probably going to see another election. Who knows what’ll happen then.

      When the Reform Party took over the Cons, the Cons moved to the Liberal Party and the Liberals moved to the NDP. Historical voters of each moved accordingly

      As for the oil plan, it makes no sense; The UCP closed the refineries the ANDP opened to ensure oil has to be traded to the US and bought back by us. A pipeline to Ontario to then sell it to the US and buy it back doesn’t make any sense

      I don’t think energy security is a partisan issue, it’s good for Canada as long as it is done respecting all the communities and peoples rights along the way. It can be a big win for indigenous communities if done properly.

      Let’s see how it unfolds …

    Global markets

    Ford says he wants Fortress Can-Am. Week after, 50% copper tariffs announced. If we don’t let US tech giants spy on us tax free, we will get treated like Brazil. Big disconnect with just more gaslighting.
