Do they really say per cent in Canada

Percent is a different word. Were not literally talking about money

When we typically go and ask this question on surveys, you find that all the opposition voters want elections. People who are voting for the government on the other side dont necessarily want an election, said Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos, in an interview with Global News.

Justin "I don't know how many pics of me in blackface exist" Trudeau

Not surprised I've been seeing anti liberal and Trudeau protests for months in my area.

A house down the road from me has a large picture of Trudeau in blackface plastered over the house with posters saying "fuck Trudeau"

I can't wait to see the Tories trot that out again next election

Worked so well for them in 2019 and 2021

Jesus fuck. Almost half the population wanted a fucking election last time and the government spent millions of dollars on ads just to have the exact same fucking outcome.

The people voted in that idiot, so fucking deal with it and let him finish his term.

Calling for another election isn't gonna shift anything in the Conservative's favour because a) we're a liberal country, and b), no one wants that piece of shit populist Polliver in power.

Fucking Conservatives finding a way to be a victim every fucking second of their fucking lives.

You don't like your country's leadership that the people voted for? Fucking leave.

The Tories got more votes than the Liberals nationwide in both elections. I know that's not how elections work, but it's not like they're getting blown out or anything.

Doesn't mean much when the left vote is split while the conservative vote isn't.

Sure it does in a first-past-the-post system. That's how Harper was in charge for a decade.

I agree that another election will likely have similar results, but what? Canada isn't a fixed-election date state, snap elections are the norm and calling for new elections has been done by essentially every opposition party in history unless the ruling party has a huge popularity edge, in which they they push for a new election to try to extend their terms.

This is common stuff in Westerminster-ish systems.

True I suppose, I do wish we'd get a proportional representation system like Trudeau campaigned on oh so long ago before he completely flaked out on that promise because he realised that it would seriously strengthen the NDP and weaken the Liberals.

Not all the time. I think the three previous elections that had Harper garner a minority government, then majority, then minority again didn't have snap elections? I could be wrong, however.

I just hate that, though. While I understand it's good to have that as a check and balance, a lot if platforms a party runs on don't automatically work within two years and it takes time for this ideas and what-not to become financially stable.

I'm of the mind that, we, the majority of the people, voted for someone. Give them the chance to implement their ideas. If it works, and the people like it, they get another four years. You're cutting off their nose to spite their face.

But they dislike each other more than the right, so the Tories will always have a shot in Canada.

Not really, if this was the case you would sooner see the Liberals and Conservatives work together to pass legislation but instead we get Liberal/NDP coalitions which tend to be far more beneficial to Canadians than a Liberal majority.

The Liberals also love to talk about the things they've done to help Canadians even though they usually only have done it due to pressure from the NDP. Quite annoying how so many people ignore this.

Working together, sure. I misspoke about hate, my bad. But they like having their own smaller seperate pieces of the pie more than preventing the Tories having a larger one at least

All I know is Pierre Poilivere and the rest of the CPC caucus are a fucking joke.

Read that as erection

Maybe, though I'd venture a guess that leftists would be more happy at a watered down leftist party in charge eternally than the Tories in charge accidentally.
