Yeah, that war chest budget looks sad. The liberals need to pass proportional representation with the ndp without a referendum in order to beat Pierre Poilievre who will play as dirty as possible.
They won't.
The Liberals would rather lose to the CPC for a cycle or two than implement PR, which a) drag the whole country leftward, economically, which the donor class doesn't want, and b) would see them never realize a majority government.
a) drag the whole country leftward, economically
I'm a big supporter of PR (I don't really understand people who aren't -- it gives your vote more weight). I also support more social spending and higher taxes for extreme wealth.
My understanding is that countries that have implemented it have a more fractured government where people complain that it can't get anything done. Given the support that cpc apparently has, and all the "fuck trudeau" people, i'm suspicious that we wouldn't also have a healthy representation the right; people with whom i disagree.
Gotta wonder where all that money is coming from, and what they want in return.
I guess I'm not his target audience, I haven't seen a single one. I don't watch cable tv, read the newspaper, or use Facebook though like old conservative people.
PP looks cool AF in this picture.
Populist right wing nastiness has a good publicist in Canada, while the centre is a washed out divorced dad and the left wastes itself on uninspiring minutiae.
We're fucked.
