Taking bets on how long universal healthcare lasts now that Liberals can wave "It's us or fascism/annexation" forever.

MODERATORS
You do realize the Liberals have a minority that the few NDP seats can still keep in power? The hammer the NDP wield right now is vastly disproportionate to the very small number of seats they hold.
I was hoping the ndp couldn't help alone, and the liberals would need to work with the BQ, but my hopes were dashed.
What makes you think the liberals want to end universal health care?
Yeah, someone's confusing the parties goals here
Lol
It's right in the name.
Good bye Jagmeet. Even though I never liked you as leader of NDP, your policies were a welcome change in an atrophied left ecosystem. Thank you.
I got to be honest. The NDP are like some anime hero in this election sacrificing it all so the main protagonist can beat the villian
-Mass immigration and loosening regulation so temporary students can work 40 hours a week when we finally had wage pressure, as people asked for simple cost of living adjustments after massive asset price inflation and corporate revenue.
-Allowing unions to be forced back to work, eliminating all bargaining for wages.
-Ignoring the cost of living increases from QE and unfunded stimulus, by not taxing the rich a dime to pay for any of it.
Am I wrong in any of this, I'd love a carefully thought out retort that isn't Cons bad.
Wow NDP is getting closer to the Liberals, might as well vote Liberal.
Why do they keep shifting center?!!?
While I was not a huge fan of Jagmeet, I don't think he was a bad leader. The Federal NDP had a tough go at this election as I am sure many people who would traditionally vote NDP voted to keep conservatives out of power and marked the Red Box. I certainly did.
I voted NDP, for premiere, and MP. My riding voted for conservative for both.
It's really unfortunate that the largest party chooses PM instead of being able to just form a coalition of small parties, if I understand it correctly? Also super unfortunate that the PM then recommends Senators with lifetime appointments up to age 75.
It's actually kind of miraculous that Canada has been so much more progressive than the USA with that kind of system.
They were losing popularity before the elections were called though. The losses are because of the circle around the flag effect, but their unpopularity is not.
I don't disagree. They missed a huge opportunity to be the opposition people turned to in this instance when people didn't want either of the big two.
Is this guy the one who said people are stupid?
You're thinking of Rajneesh, a dead cult leader
I loved him, but he tossed Jessica Wetz under the bus and the next day, he was posting thirst traps on TikTok.
