I guess it's now the Liberals turn to make the last grasp for total power. Sure hope we make a crazy pivot to the NDP. Or we can smash the state, but honestly, we better do something.

This is so so far from a coup.

They're in office. Hard to overthrow the government when you are the government. They're aiming for more and total power.

Yup, the PMO is the whole government. /s

I'm not even sure if you believe this, or if it's just venting. Certainly, if you were around for the Harper years you've seen worse.

Sorry, best we can do is get so angry at the Liberals for acting like Conservatives that we elect actual Conservatives. Trudeau really should followed through on electoral reform.

I wonder who'd be in power.

IIRC PR actually favours the Conservatives, because there's so many of their voters stacked up in the same place in the prairies. Then again, we're talking about several years of butterflies and political re-alignment.

Wish more people knew how smaller parties were running on voter reform, so liberals made that their stance until Trudeau won and immediately was like "Voter reform? We didn't mean to say something THAT crazy."

Reminder how the democrats down south have captured all of the energy as the only possible alternative to republicans, while also directly assisting the republicans in the most absurd destruction and corruption of their country.

It's not too late for Canada, but things would be much less gloomy if we had gotten some fucking voter reform.
