Completely illegitimate system, IMO. I once had some belief in the Westminster parliamentary system, but no more. The only solution for Canada is radical, fundamental, revolutionary change. But it won't happen because Canadians are docile cucks.
One million would be a good final tally, in several months. I doubt they have that many already. I do think the recent floor-crossing business will give them a bump though.
The difference between Canada and the UK imo is that British people at least understand that their government and country sucks right now. British people no matter what happens at least they hold their politicians accountable as well. (Even if the next ones they vote in aren't much better). Correct me if I'm wrong but that's why this system works decently in the UK but is horrible in Canada
It's more than that. British MP backbenchers have a very long tradition of holding their party leadership to the fire so it leads to a lot of interesting developments where PMs are forced out or party policy does a 180 because a good chunk of the caucus ignores the whip, refuses to vote, or declares themselves independent (e.g. the Cons post-Cameron). We used to see that too, especially during the early-mid 1900s, but a gradual centralization of power within the PMO (something Harper in particular is to blame for) and our parties doing their utmost to control MP candidate selection has effectively curtailed any sense of MP independence. Hell the Libs for one allow the party leader to unilaterally override the wishes of their riding members and shoehorn in whoever at their leisure - you're selecting for the most docile and least independent people under that system.
Imagine a secular Iran or Palestine having to deal with a islamic New Hindustan (Canada) or YooKay lmao.
Iran is one of the fastest-growing Christian nations in the region (talking about new converts, if we are talking about Children being born to Christian families, then it is Israel). People see Islam for what it is, an expansionist colonial religion that subjugates its people . So many Iranians I know are either Christian, agnostic, atheistic or mulism in the loosest sense of the term (aka go to the mosque for major holidays and that's about it, they still drink, dress, and have sex like westerners. Sorta like how most Americans are Christian, but they only go to Easter, Christmas, marriages, and funerals) or they believe in God but none of that Mohammad bullshit (idk what you would call that--a religious?).
Iran and basically every other dictatorship rn is looking at cucknadians with envy and wishing their people were as docile as the average leaf. Countries like China for example would love it if they didn't have to spend billions on propaganda and spying on their citizens so they can focus on their other goals. I guess the rest of the world is lucky those types of sheep are limited to an irrelevant country like Canada lol.

The only thing boomers organize protests about is ones against their own children and grandchildren.
Boomers only protest one thing and that is learning how the world actually works. Boomers prefer to live in a fantasy land where a secret cabal of rich people run everything.
Explains why Idubbz (a spiritual jeet) moved there.
What? And after two years of screaming "ONLY 10% REEEE" and torpedoing our relationship with our biggest neighbor?
It's been like this since Pierre Sr's terms.
...
Chrétien did far more to make the PMO powerful than Harper did.
You aren't alone. I'd wager like 95% of Canadians have. They'll hear this and, instead of thinking 'huh maybe Trump was right', will go "REEE DRUMPF NO 51ST STATE REEEE".
A family member of mine is a manager at some scrapyard, and she was saying some ukrainian refugee they hired (a good worker too by all accounts) ended up leaving to FUCKING ROMANIA, because the GTA was too expensive for him and his family, despite him making a pretty good wage.
The liberals really did solve immigration after all! If Canada is worse than even the second and third world then no one will come here anymore!
