Leaf here.
One of the things Trudeau originally campaigned on was changing the voting system from FPTP, which he dropped in 2017 when he realized that it would kill future chances at maintaining a house majority to bringing over trucks of peace. Currently he says he'll revisit it if the other parties agree to use anything other than PR (really makes you ). It's not really a left-wing cause as it is a third-party cause, it just happens that the major third party is the extra left-wing NDP.
From a jackass strategy standpoint, it makes even more sense to not move away from FPTP because now there's a chance that the People's Party will split the conservative vote from the CPC, while NDP Jagmeet Singh is such a wet bag that there's no equivalent danger on the left.
There's a perception that there isn't as much insanity in Canadian politics as there are in the US, but there are genuinely fucked up things happening up north, like how the creation of the now-removed Ontario sex ed curriculum was overseen by a literal pedophile.
Five bucks that Geoff goes on more platitudes about how Bernier is alt-right, though. Sure hope it backfires on his ass as badly as all that Goblin Slayer whining did.
Didn't Trudeau's policies regarding the native tribes do a lot of damage to them? I can't remember the whole thing but from what another leaf told me he basically made it so that the government had no say in the way the reservations spend their gubmint money and what ends up happening is the money just disappearing and the people it was meant for not getting any benefit from it?
