    Jeet Heer Retweeted Sean Craig

    The Liberals won a strong minority (in fact a near majority) on the basis of system that is very anti-democratic, indeed becoming more so as parties proliferate.https://twitter.com/sdbcraig/status/1186499720044265472 …

        Replying to @Aldowyn @HeerJeet

        its not about strategic voting. its a combination of 1) the conservatives letting a dumber version of Trump win the Ontario elections last year and proceeding to shit all over the biggest province in Canada and 2) pig farmers in Alberta being mad oil isnt as lucrative as it was

        Literally not. It’s called parliamentary politics.

        Trudeau ditching his promise to fix first past the post is looking smart.

        yeah but having said that, i can't feel too bad for the Conservatives in that they are the only significant right of center party, whereas left of center parties received over 50% of the vote nationally. Its not like the "will of the people" in a larger sense is being thwarted.

        Better candidates needed. All politics is local.
