This could just be a feature of getting good things when we give the NDP a larger share of power than usual, though. The Liberals didn’t want universal healthcare, it was a concession given to the NDP because they had to. But it’s not like a majority NDP situation at the time wouldn’t have passed it.
Much the same as dental care today. What exactly are the Liberals bringing to the table other than acting as gatekeepers making sure the system isn’t as expansive as it could be?
Why are minority gouvernements a problem? That’s when parties have to make compromises with the NDP and have no choice but to vote on stuff that finally benefit the middle class.

I replied to the wrong comment. I meant to reply to someone saying at least we’re better than America.
I think minority governments are a big pro of our system.
Hahahaha ok no problem.
Well, just know that as bad as it is, you can always look south for a worse solution.
