Most Canadians who plan on voting for the Liberal party are more motivated to stop the Conservatives from winning the election rather than endorsing the party’s vision and leader, according to a new poll released on Monday.

Except it pretty much is a two party system with extra steps.
You mean with minority governments.
Minority governments have enacted everything that makes Canada good.
This could just be a feature of getting good things when we give the NDP a larger share of power than usual, though. The Liberals didn’t want universal healthcare, it was a concession given to the NDP because they had to. But it’s not like a majority NDP situation at the time wouldn’t have passed it.
Much the same as dental care today. What exactly are the Liberals bringing to the table other than acting as gatekeepers making sure the system isn’t as expansive as it could be?
I would be fine with minority governments for the foreseeable future.
As you said, better policy tends to result when there needs to be some level of cross-party cooperation in order to get anything done.
That’s part of the problem though. We can ignore our problems compared to the glaring ones next door.
Why are minority gouvernements a problem? That’s when parties have to make compromises with the NDP and have no choice but to vote on stuff that finally benefit the middle class.
I replied to the wrong comment. I meant to reply to someone saying at least we’re better than America.
I think minority governments are a big pro of our system.
Hahahaha ok no problem.
Well, just know that as bad as it is, you can always look south for a worse solution.
