Canada

Don't forget increased intentionally fucking over BC.

• Harper and PPs complete capitulation on the softwood lumber agreement to the US, multiple times decimated rural BC.

• They moved harbour control for the 2nd busiest port on the west coast of the Americas, out of Vancouver and have them remotely operating out of Comox.

• They illegally forced the TMX expansion pipeline through, and overrode concerns of the city of Hope that the new line runs over their watershed and they ignored native issues with the pipeline. Note that it doesn't run over Nestles well. They moved the line for fucking Nestle, not a city of people though.

• They shut down the coast guard facility for the Vancouver harbor and forced them to operate out of Richmond. So in the recent issue of a boat running into a seaplane, where the coast guard took under 10 minutes to respond, if Trudeau had not repurchased and opened the facility, their response time would have been in the range of 40 minutes to an hour.

Not to mention a return to "balancing" the budget by selling off assets to developer friends and scandals like taking the G8 security budget and using it for graft and bribery in your own ridings.

Wait till you realize that not only is PP bad, but so is Trudeau and Singh. And please don't mention Maxime. That guy is a anti-vax nutjob.

Perhaps the NDP shouldn't have hitched their horse to the Liberal bandwagon. The fact that they're showing so poorly is just as mind boggling as the Liberals losing this seat.

As a middle-aged, cis, hetero, mostly neuro-typical guy living in Calgary - I see you, I value you, and I care about you. I can't pretend to understand what your life is like - but you deserve every bit as much happiness and support as anyone else.

One of the first things Trudeau did as Prime Minister was break the top-line platform promise that got him elected - he promised Canadians that the 2015 federal election would be the last one under the first past the post system. So I'd say from the standpoint of democracy, he had an absolutely horrible start.

Of course he went on to reap the benefits of the imbalanced first past the post system for two subsequent federal elections, one of which he called unnecessarily during the pandemic in order to consolidate power for his party.

I think him and his party have been vaporware since day one.

... you've got to be the only person then. Even the CPC is surprised they won.

Also, your excuse makes no sense. What's your reasoning for the previous Liberal massive success in thus riding? They've regularly been getting ~50% or more of the vote and even won by a healthy margin in 2011 when the party was soundly defeated from coast-to-coast... Do you think all the rich people moved in within the last couple of years?
