I really hope the Cons lose massively in this election and back off from this alt-right Trumpian swing they've been on under Poilievre.
Not that the previous versions of the Conservative Party were any better, but at least they tried to hide how hateful and stupid they were. Now it's all just out in the open. It's exhausting.
Do wish liberals had done the electoral reform they promised. Without electoral reform, we will just continue down the two party road, so the overton window can go between the robbing the poor party and the 'you have no choice but to vote for us or the other party wins. We'll still move the overton window in that direction and serve the rich though,' party. Hopefully they didn't also kill the momentum we had for electoral reform as an urge of the populace.
I will never truly forgive the Libs for that. "2015 will be the last federal elections under first-past-the-post", just to turn around mere weeks after being elected and saying "people just wanted electoral reform because they were tired of Harper, now that they have a government they're satisfied with they no longer feel the need for reform" (this is essentially exactly what Trudeau said in an interview with Le Devoir in late 2015)
