First-past-the-post feeds negative campaigning and attack politics, says author and electoral reform advocate.

Trudeau isn’t fear mongering about the CPC, they’ll be every bit as bad and worse than the Liberals say.

Could you also use that crystal ball to tell me next week’s lottery numbers?

Don’t need a crystal ball, they aren’t exactly an unknown quantity. CPC has party policy, a political philosophy and a governing history, I won’t pretend I don’t know how they’ll act.

Last time I checked almost the entirety of that was better than the current Liberals. Lower housing prices, lower cost of living, lower immigration, lower homelessness, lower drug deaths, less crime, higher per capita GDP

See this is the thing with arguing on the internet, a list of stuff and absolutely no thoughtful analysis. Like a bumper sticker that found its way onto the internet. Just one example, crime rates have fallen steadily since the 90s under all governments and continue to be near historic lows. In fact, most of Harper’s tenure saw crime above or near the current levels. But you wouldn’t know that if you got your information from some guy on the internet who just says “less crime”.

Basically everything you listed is arguable at best, false at worst. But I know that won’t stop ya.
