Nothing says “classy” like flying that flag.

Good L🍁ck Trudeau! (But also, don’t let the door hit you on the way out…)

    You can force an election for a minority government. If one party has a majority, it can go for a while, more then four years

      Okay, I’m not jealous of the 4 year part unless it has some hidden benefit. Maybe moving that slow keeps it stable?

        It wouldn’t be a problem if we had proportional representation. In Canada, a party can get a majority government with a minority of the voting population due to how it’s calculated. This often means low voter turnout because a large number of people feel their vote doesn’t count.

          So you have the same problem as us. I think in the olden days, our corrupt politicians and elites colluded with the world’s corrupt politicians and elites, and had a good laugh how they set it up in their favor.
