A very important lesson is hidden in this article:
Of the other two ridings, the Bloc Québécois is in an extremely tight race with the Liberals in Terrebonne, Quebec. The Liberals won it by just one vote in the last federal election, but the result was overturned by Canada’s supreme court because of a misprint on a voter’s envelope.
If ANY side had seen only one more person voting, everything might have been different! Never think that your vote isn’t important.
Now they can make it illegal for all sorts of workers to strike.
He’s poaching conservatives since the start of the year, some of those
turn costturncoat are some important piece of shit in Canada politics.So yeah look a lot like a centrist gov pandering to facist enablers
Turn cost …Turncoats?
Autocorrect
You can thank Poilievre for this. This guy will cluelessly cling to the head of the Conservative party until the NDP becomes the new opposition party.
One can hope
Good.
Great now let’s see if he’ll stop pushing technocratic agendas and focuses back instead on the citizens
Nope
I mean, he’s a technocrat through and through. Always has been. Sometimes you need a stint of a technocrat to get into the nitty gritty.
Then again, he’s not my PM so I’m probably talking out my arse about the situation. I’m far less clued into domestic Canadian politics than the average Canadian.
One can hope he’ll can Nathalie Provost, find someone who will actually dedicate their time as Secretary Of Nature instead of a defunct Public Safety minister and scrap Bill C21/ASFCP, use his new found majority to target violent reoffenders and stop smuggling over the border.
Weird how our PM just got more power without a general elevation.
Like wtf mate
There’s nothing weird about this. There was a string of by-elections, so people cast votes (in those ridings). This is how parliamentary governments work.
I can see complaints about floor-crossing though. That’s an act that didn’t involve the voters.
Can one not vote across party lines? Why would they have to change parties?
They can vote how they want, but I believe most parties use the whip extensively. So they could be kicked from the party/lose party funding. Crossing the floor secured them money from the new party.
