    Awesome.

    Just in time for the recent influx of poisonous food from the US. Awesome.

    This while the U.S has dismantled the FDA and is shipping us toxic garbage.

    LPC works for U.S corporations.

      Look at his voting records!

      He had 43.76% of the vote in the 2025 federal election and has been given 49.27% of the seats thanks undemocratic first-past-the-post!

      The conservative liberals will gladly push for the alternative vote and block voting.

        NDP and Greens also want proportional rep or approval voting

          Neither party push for approval voting.

          The NDP wants mixed-member proportional. What New Zealand uses.

          The Greens want single transferable vote. What Ireland uses.

                Pretty much every informal organization you’ve ever been part of. Deciding which hotel to stay at with your family or what restaurant to go to with your friends or who is leading the cheers in a soccer fan section…

          This article in particular wasn’t shared, you need to have a variety of sources in your news diet and people must be reminded of Mark Carney’s abysmal record.

            Sure, but why did you post a 10 month-old story? I’m curious why it crossed your feed just recently.

                I don’t understand. Why does my asking why you posted a 10 month-old article make me a “liberal”?

                Edit: Nevermind, you’re obviously a troll. 13,653 posts in just under 2 years… Almost 19 posts per day average.

    Seems like a bad plan in light of recent events. Additionally it seems like a pretty obvious political misstep to make this particular cut at this particular time.
