Trump winning was the worst thing that could have happened to the Conservatives. Dealing with Trump's bullshit is the one thing that most people seem to agree that Trudeau and the Liberals handled well.
PP wanted his "carbon tax election", but just about no one is very concerned about that right now.
- Good luck, y'all. If Canada manages to avoid the global shift to the alt-right, it will be one of the few political bright spots in an otherwise dark future.
  
  for now
  
  And they’ve got water
- In a strange way it's the best thing that could have happened here. PP would be gargling fascist hog if elected and it's plain to see
  
  The worst case scenario would have been an early election before the one in the US and be stuck right now with both Trump down south and PP here.
- Funny how building your whole platform around "not Trudeau" was short-sighted. Never could have seen that coming....
  
  It's the same thing that happened in the US but in reverse. Democrats ignored their constituents and made their platform "more genocide" and "we're not Trump"
- Winning power is usually what undoes fascists. Hopefully it makes somewhat less of a mess this time.

Keep fighting! Fuck the cons! There is a literal fire underneath you, geographically and metaphorically speaking

Down with PP!
- Aye! Down with PP!

Use ISO-8601 date format: YYYY-MM-DD (Its way better!)
- I just assume DD-MM-YYYY when wrote like this. Because it is what most of the world uses.
  
  Which works out here because it's literally 03-03.
  But ISO-8601 is an international standard, by the International Standards Organization, to remove this very confusion.
  Its like the SI / metric system.

It'd be cool if it was some party other than the Liberals that was getting the lift. Greens? NDP? Uh... That's about it.
- For the 20 years I've lived in Canada, it's been the country of "best I can do is ..." 🥹
  
  If only the proportional rep thing hadn't been a damned lie.
  
  Beats America, the country of "go fuck yourself, you poor bastard"
- We don’t have PR yet. When the NDP or any of the other “3rd parties” gain big, it splits the left wing vote which results in a win for the conservatives.
- NDP got 2nd in Ontario, while being 3rd in popularity. Douggy Ford still won.

Ill be voting liberal that's for sure. It won't matter because I'm in an overwhelming conservative voting region. But I will vote.
- I too live in a very conservative area but I will still be voting and I will be voting Liberal. Voting is my right and responsibility as a citizen and I intend to exercise my right regardless of what others do.

Too bad both parties are working with profiteers to fuck up your healthcare system.
- Housing market

In a press conference just now, "tariff money must not be spent on relief, but be spent on tax cuts" for those people who will still have plenty of income despite tariffs.
