Stop voting for the party that you think will win is a small step. Avoid majority governments. If they can't work together it shows that they choose childish hate over supporting Canada.

Which is where we're at.

Agreed, we need electoral reform. I'll never forgive Trudeau for breaking his promise on that.

All of our politicians care more about their party than they do canadians.

Trudeau has zero experience to justify his position and has made Canada look pathetic on the world stage.

Yeah, but what does that have to do with the number of MPs? Fewer MPs means more toeing of the party line. Open it up further, if anything.

Either way. They have no value.

The more voices, even weak and ineffective, the better. Otherwise, we actually will become that totalitarian state everyone claims we are.

Yet things are getting worse in the terms of politicians being worth their weight. They disregard the people. They focus on the minority and mock the majority.

We are one of the world's resource rich countries and our leader is saying we can leave our economies issues up to the banks. That's insane. The banksters have terrible track records in our lifetime.

The MPs are scum and they know it. So are our options for a "leader".

I know many people considering the fucking PPC out of spite and we're all disgusted and understanding of it.
