The Conservatives have a 16-point lead. Three-quarters of the country think it's time for a change. But Justin Trudeau is vowing to fight Pierre Poilievre in the next election.
Good grief. Everyone talks like Trudeau is lacking, and he might be, but has anyone considered that it’s a MINORITY government right now. You can’t just “ram shit through”, you have to work with others and play nice.
I fucking LOVE this situation right now.
A. It’s not the right-wing wackos in charge - don’t get me started. B. Trudeau has resources and experienced support, old favours, blah blah C. But Trudeau is held in check by, mostly, by the NDP(who I view as the political ’conscience’ of Canada). D. NDP are the real kingmakers - anything doesn’t pass muster? Nope! E. This forces EVERYONE to play and work together.
Isn’t that what this country is about?
Or is it about, “MY turn to drive!”? There’s no absolute power, right now and that’s a good thing.
Who gives a shit if a turd is, technically, “in charge”? The bus is driving like it’s supposed to.
Still. That comment on Reddit where the guy talks dirty to his wife. Fails, miserably. So hilarious. Wish i could find it again. “You like that, you fucking …”.

Why do we even need a friggen election? I’m 60yo. I’ve NEVER seen the government working the way it’s supposed to (generally speaking, …role eyes), for so long as it has in this minority government.
No one, right now, can railroad anything through under a majority - just ‘cause we’re in charge! Basically, what both Cons & Libs want.
Idiots like these are the ones that merged with the old school Conservatives, then took over the party. Welcome the CPC party - reformers in sheep’s clothing.
The 2000s were a great time for science fiction.
