You're some sort of Bluenose Napoleon, I take it?
Actually, a NDP MP who sat on the committee that traveled around the country holding town halls, spent hundreds of hours studying the various voting systems around the world and then came up with a comprehensive report, said on CBC radio today that they found a solid 88% of the people they heard from both at town halls and through internet surveys, were in favor of a some kind of proportional representation wherein every vote counts.
This was completely typical of the Liberal party - will anyone ever forget the famous words of Jean Chretien - "Read my lips?" Justin simply showed himself to be just as shallow, just as lacking in integrity and just as much of a liar as other fork-tongued Liberals who preceded him.
Us Conservatives can only sit back and chuckle.........while throwing out the odd.........I told you so. :lol:
Oh come on, mf............it was the only move he could make when his little plan of foisting a ranked ballot system on the Canadian public fell apart. He didn't even have the b**ls to stand up in the House and tell us himself. Instead, after the appointment of yet another rookie minister to the portfolio, he left it all up to her. Liar and a coward.
This will be remembered as a good move.
Especially because they took the time to gauge public opinion first.
Americans would do well to learn from us.
Oh wait, they're idiots lead by a complete moron. :lol:

I suppose it is not a big surprise. Disappointing perhaps, but not a surprise. No doubt the Liberals looked at the numbers and determined that they will probably get another 40% and win against a weak Conservative Party. However, they have given the NDP ammunition for a comeback.
First of all good, I want first past the post anyway.
As for Trudeau I still prefer him to Harper

I prefer any politician that is open-minded and is willing to change course when he/she sees they are wrong. I didn't think Trudeau had it in him but good for him.
I also like politicians who listen to what the people want. I believe politicians work for the people and not the other way around. That's one of the reasons I'm not a Trumpite
You must have audited that little piece of information for him...
It didn't work...........
How old are you? I think you underestimate the number of young people who strongly believe FPTP is not adequate anymore for Canada's democracy.
What the hell happened to you?
You used to be lefty, but reasonably rational.
Now you've gone completely off the edge.
Justin Trudeau, the Human Turd, has lied and lied and lied and lied, broken several major promises.........said incredibly stupid things, proven himself a complete moron, and you can't pry your lips off his behind.
No one expects you to abandon the party, or the idiot liberal philosophy, but your absolute inability to admit the The Blessed Hair has done the slightest thing wrong boggles the mind.
I swear, if you discovered the Liberals were sacrificing babies to the Devil in the Parliament House basement, then cutting them up into cubes and serving that in stew in the Parliamentary cafeteria you'd praise them for saving money on meat costs.
How hard do you have to smash that brick into your head every morning to maintain that level of stupid?
People would rather have a government that breaks a difficult promise than keep a bad one.
See Trump.
See Trump.
That's been their position since they were elected.
Conservatives were the idiots pushing for a referendum.

How would a referendum be a bad idea for canadian democracy?
The way I see it a government that I can't trust is a bad government.

It is not like he wrote it. All he had to do was stand in front of a camera and read the script.
Do tell what bad promise has Trump kept?
The ONLY appealing thing in the Liberal campaign platform.. GONE. It's no surprise to me. The first time i heard of the plan i thought it would release all kinds of pent up energy in the electoral system and would be completely unpredictable as to who it would help.
The Liberals have always thought they were EVERYONE's first or second preference, simply by never standing for anything and placing themselves as the default choice for voters. But the outcomes of a ranked poll likely would have brought marginal parties to the fore that would completely disrupt the 2 Party Franchise that has ruled the country for 150 yrears.
The truth is that the West is now in a paradigm shift.. economically, culturally, politically.. and the Liberals have always been run by polls, political correctness and petty ideologies, never straying from the popular zeitgeist. In a fast moving environment like this they realized they would be outmanoevered by more agile and integral philosophical forces like those that propelled Trump to POTUS.
This is a fatal self inflicted wound to the Liberal Party. They've lost ALL credibility. These forces of change will move around it to assert themselves regardless of electoral machinery. The Liberals are adrift.. in a ship of state that is compassless, rudderless and captainless.. in a turbulent political sea that has them completely befuddled, which has overturned all their presumptions.
They might limp on for a year or so, but events are moving so quickly that they'll likely start to dissolve internallly within a year or so. Justin is just too hopeless and clueless to deal with a crisis. I'm sure he's quite oblivious to the historical forces that are moving relentlessly against him and his government.

Why is that?
We got what we wanted.
FPTP.
Oh, and it wasn't Conservatives demanding a referendum.....it was the mass of the people....like 70%.
Of course, lefties hate the people.
Ah...the answer to my question
is "really hard"
The people would rather not have the Human Turd make bad promises.
