Is electoral reform possible now?
It's very likely that the Liberals will have to work with the NDP to form government. Isn't it a no brainer for the NDP to make electoral reform a deal breaking issue?
Lack of proportional representation is what has led to their laughable 7 seats.
The liberals will find working with the bloc a lot harder than the NDP, so electoral reform seems like an acceptable deal from their end too, right?
Should we be excited for this?

They could also try working with the BQ since that party is in 3rd and has more seats than the NDP
This morning on CBC Radio the BQ are ecstatic to be a key player within a minority government and expressed that they are more than open to work with any party on Canadian interests that align with Québec's. With the tariffs affecting both Québec and the rest of Canada I think there is common ground for the near future where the Liberals work with the BQ. It's an interesting time to follow Canadian and Québec politics.
Pull together or fall apart.
I'm fine with this. I like minority governments being forced to cooperate, as long as it's not right wing controlled.
Indeed, that's the friggin job!
Whatever any of us feel about Trudeau (Jr) he ran two successful (as in close to full-term) minority parliments by being able to compromise and work with other parties.
Could anyone see PP compromising? Attack dogs don't have a "cooperate with others" mode.
So let's hope the children can all now go get along...
and fix some problems!
