If the polls hold up and the Conservative win people should realize that the LIberal’s could have changed things dramatically by implementing Voting Reform but refused to do so.
Specifically the 155/108 Liberal MP’s getting paid at least 200k at year and their entire job is to lead this country holds a substantially higher burden then the millions of Canadians who barely spends any effort reading a news headline.

They don’t care.
If they lose, they know they’ll be back in, depending on how bad the Conservatives do, on four to eight years, likely with a majority. Both parties are quite amenable to a periodic chair-switch.
However, if they had put through electoral reform, they’d never get another majority again. They’d have to share power with other, likely left-leaning, parties, which they wouldn’t like. It would mean less power, less exclusive access to donations and reciprocation, and the ire of their donor class, who very much don’t want to see a goverment that aligns with Canadians instead of the investor class.
The Liberals would ratther lose every seat in parliament than implement electoral reform.
LOL! He’s too full of himself to do that! He still believes that he can win which is why he didn’t do proportional representation or anything good really.
As for a plan… why the actual fuck would he reveal anything substantial now? The CPC is His Majesty’s Loyal Opposition, it’s their job to oppose. It’s not their job to come up with stuff, that’s for the governing party (the LPC) and, through the confidence and supply agreement, the NDP. Do you understand how the British Westminster system that we use works? Maybe once the election is in full swing the “no plan” argument will be a valid one, but it’s not now.
He’s our Trump. Hope our country doesn’t make the same mistake as the states did in 2016

That one is going to be on the people. I’ve encountered a few die hard Liberals here and they’re as baffling as a Conservative loyalist.
How can someone be a die-hard Liberal? That’s like being a die-hard Wonderbread fan.
If they were the kind of people to get tattoos, they’d read “Milquetoast4Lyfe”
Terrifyingly, I’m told those also exist.
You mean maybe Trudeau will step down?
LOL! He’s too full of himself to do that! He still believes that he can win which is why he didn’t do proportional representation or anything good really.
Lol, hyperbole much?
Populist without a plan, can’t make a more direct comparison
Here’s the party policies:

Trump is smarter and more charismatic and that says something.
