Watch the next Canadian election and be equally dumbfounded / terrified.
Hey, remember when the liberal party of Canada ran and won on electoral reform? And then just went "nah bro" and didn't get anything done about it?
Oopsie daisy gee golly isnt governing hard? Not that you would know because youre not in their club and you will never get a chance to govern.
Looks like now you have to vote for the liberals again or yous gets the conservatives again. Ahhh shucks ding dang it. What a conundrum. Quite the pickle ain't it?
Sound familiar?
Never voted liberal.
Will vote NDP again.
At least that election season won't last more than 7 weeks. Instead of this insane 2 year marathon the US has.
2 year marathon is underselling it, I feel like we’ve been in election season since he came down that fucking escalator
We kinda have been. The media has realized how much their viewership (and therefore ratings/money) goes up when they constantly doom and gloom, and that orange fuck has been running a reelection campaign from the moment the previous election was called.
Funny, I was watching tv and had a Canadian station on. Every other commercial break was a Pierre Putinfever ad.
In Canada, Elections campaigns can last a MAXIMUM of 50 days.
Somehow, in the past few years, the laws for campaign ads changed (thanks Crtc!) and they no longer fall into the category of a campaign.
And there are newish election laws that set out a 'pre campaign period' that allows further erosion of the campaign time limit restrictions.
That period - anytime after the last election.
Wtf.
What makes it worse though is that the outcome is a lot less uncertain, and the picture is really bleak.
Do you guys have term limits? Why is Justin running for fourth time?
Because he's delusional, and he's surrounded himself with sycophants, everyone else in the party who thinks he should've taken a cue from Biden and stepped down has been moved to the "backbenches"
To be fair, Justin is a prodigy at convincingly blowing hot air. It's an essential skill for any politician, and he's the best at it by far.
No term limits.
An election must be called every 5 years at most. Sometimes an election will be a year or two after the last. The PM can call one anytime.
Technically, the PM is never elected. They're the leader of the party. They don't have to run. Or win.
Our politics are nowhere near as toxic and disturbing as the US. At least our Conservative party respects election results.
The social media chatter during the convoy was all about how jt stole the election.
We have the crazies.
For now. Morons in Alberta fly Confederate flags, they're getting fed the same right-wing bullshit. Everyone thought the Republicans would respect the transfer of power until January 6th.
