The CPC are probably convinced the only way they can achieve a majority under Poilievre is if they get a false majority through a lucky roll of FPTP. In 2015 they were all upset that the LPC got a majority with only 39% of votes
FPTP has generally benefitted the LPC. I remember an analysis I read about the time they were “promising” election reform that said in close races, over 60% of the time the Liberals ended up with the election. Wish I could still find it, my google-fu is failing me tonight.
Besides, this bill had nothing to do with that. It wasn’t going to fix anything even if it had passed.

Like, technically, but clearly the CPC wanted it dead. The LPC was also rather divided but mostly supported it.
My guy voted “Yea” though, so they’re cool.

I’m oddly proud of BC, way to get a majority there guys.
But major kudos to Quebec, your MP’s are actually listening (here), but also NWT, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, PWI, and the Yukon.
As is tradition though, the prairies let us down.
We love dynasties out here on the prairies, no matter how little it relates to reality.
My condolences, friend.
Same. Was legit surprised lol.
