Easy to say that when Pierre Poilievre got his at age 31 while not doing a thing for Canadians


Didn’t they have one already when the Tories were like “nah let the free market decide”


The liberals are acting arrogant with their behaviour and I don’t blame people for questioning their value as a government.



John Rustad is talking about BC running out of farmland when more housing is built while he ironically speaks to a carnivore.


Thank god. Let’s not play into the hands of conservatives.


Currently Quebec and New Brunswick have the most political party diversity


New Brunswick and Nova Scotia are there too



Many things by protesting on the streets, writing to our MPs, educating our neighbours, pushing for pr in the Yukon, holding general strikes and by continuing to bring up the topic for example.


We the people hold the power not the politicians just because they don’t want proportional representation doesn’t mean we’re always stuck with first-the-post.

There are many ways everyday people can be disruptive to force the liberals to do the right thing and to have more than 40 liberals vote in favour of electoral reform.


The liberals are banking on you for being cynical on electoral reform as that allows them to keep putting Canadians into this vicious cycle of a quasi two party state with minority rule that continues to enrich the powerful few while the rest of us get scraps off our labour. We need to put more pressure on our mps to do the right thing and pass proportional representation without a referendum as most Canadians already support the concept.



The electorate in BC is more conservative than the country as a whole in the polls


The railway would’ve electrified years ago if it wasn’t for privatization.


He will be the next conservative leader to defeated by the wise Canadians.

Hopefully he will quit politics afterwards and everyone in parliament would breath a sigh of relief.


Harris is a good candidate but she needs to be fair and just on Israel and hold them accountable for their crimes.


Toxic people often whisper bad decisions in your ear to benefit themselves


Especially so when he was awkwardly silent during the rail strike.


Entitled Pierre Poilievre who got his pension already at age 31 wants screw over Jagmeet Singh out of his own when the NDP did so much for canadians.



Hopefully British Columbians will vote to keep the reactionary guy out of a majority.


Conservatives know how to game the system in their favour and if that doesn’t work they cheat.

They’re against proportional representation since it would lead to more competition in the amount of conservative parties and when first-past-the-post puts them at a disadvantage they quickly fall in line to prevent splitting the vote to avoid losing the election.

Kevin Falcon was insincere when he claimed that BC United would gladly lose multiple elections to uphold their morals.


BC United was just behind in the polls and was bleeding opportunist candidates. I was hoping that they would’ve stuck in the race until they were down to at least 5 candidates. I suppose their corporate masters whipped them into line. Hopefully they cant transfer all those donations directly to the BC Conservatives since there is a limit on political contributions for every person.


BC conservatives is a massive downgrade compared to the BC Liberals. At-least the name is more accurate in terms of policy, it will be harder to fool new comers and centrists now.







Nah don’t place the blame on the ndp. When they’re supporting the workers.


I didn’t know that proportional representation was a company.

Nice strawman.



r/canada removed my two articles about this topic.




Do it folks the government serves us not the other way around. The powerful few are weaker than they project themselves as.








Right wingers want everyone in the world to be in the same hole they’re. Modi loves that the canadian government is siding with zionists as India has been attacking the muslim community under his watch.



Hit the 2% requirement for nato then donate a lot of that towards Ukraine.


Conservatives found to be hypocrites once again



Oh c’mon BC don’t let 2 conservative provinces beat you here.





Glad to see more people calling out Pierre Poilievre.

















Canada should get an oil fund for using taxpayer money from funding the Trans Mountain expansion after we all spent $34 billion dollars on the project that is $85,000 for every person.
