Why do we even need a friggen election? I’m 60yo. I’ve NEVER seen the government working the way it’s supposed to (generally speaking, …role eyes), for so long as it has in this minority government.
No one, right now, can railroad anything through under a majority - just ‘cause we’re in charge! Basically, what both Cons & Libs want.
NDP are “passive kingmakers” right now -Yay!
100% agreed. Minority governments ensure far more Canadians are represented since the aggregate population represented by a minority coalition will almost always be larger than that represented by a single majority party.
Especially if the NDP forms the minority. A Liberal/NDP minority represents more than 50% of all voters.
Well this statement didnt age well
Good thing Layton isn't around to bring this all down and hand the government to the cons like he did in 2005
