Gee, if only a major prime minister candidate were to promise to end first-past-the-post voting as a major campaign issue, and I was to vote for said candidate’s party on that basis, and they were to not flagrantly renege on that promise right after being elected.
There are times when I find myself in grudging sympathy for those “fuck Trudeau” bumper stickers. There weren’t better options at the time and he did accomplish a few other things that were good, but that one was really important IMO. Fundamental to the long-term health of Canadian democracy.
On a per capita basis we had a lost decade as the cost of living exploded for non-asset holders. We did manage to beat Luxembourg however, in the entire 38 countries of the OECD, so we have that going for us which is nice.
