    Yeah but so was Trudeau.

    Honestly I feel like Trudeau was honestly a good guy with good values and good ideas but he somehow got pushed into the Liberal party mold and was forced to toe the party line even if he was the leader. Like there are outside forces that made him change his plans.

    That might just be a hunch though.

      Dude was just slimy the whole time, idk why people couldn’t tell that in 2016. The news told everyone he was so charismatic, but then listen to him talk, no fucking way.

      I wanted electoral reform but I think going for it would have been a mess.

      No two major parties agreed on what should replace FPTP.

      If the liberals had used a majority to unilaterally rewrite our elections that sets a bad precedent (Not that precedent seems to matter much these days).

        He had a majority, didn’t need any input from other parties. He didn’t want to do it because he knew it would stop him from getting a majority at the next election. It’s that simple.

        The irony is, the FPTP system is now likely going to hammer the Liberals into oblivion. Funny how that ol’ irony works.
