When the LPC makes promises that sound like NDP promises, it's best to compare the phrasing.
What the NDP promises, the LPC "looks into", "takes steps towards" and "considers". This phrasing is not an accident. Don't be fooled.

Despite what liberals would have you believe, the definition of "leverage" is not "to keep on giving up more and more stuff unilaterally to help [insert liberal politician] get elected".

Actually, I want the money going to the person doing the work.
When you buy something from a coffee shop or local grocer, you want your money going right to the business owner.
We made a deal with Visa and Mastercard — and now, small businesses will save up to 27% more on their credit card fees.

Nobody will lose an election because of an "uncosted platform" and there is a reason they keep using "ridiculous slogans".
Is it terrible that this strategy works? Absolutely.
Does that make any less true?

I said this a decade ago but did any of you listen?
In an interview this week with Nate Erskine-Smith, Justin Trudeau admitted his electoral reform promise was kept deliberately vague to appeal to Fair Vote when in fact he had no intention of ever implementing a proportional system.
We have some thoughts: fairvote.ca/03/10/2024/fact-…

Turns out when your "confidence motion" is just a thinly veiled campaign speech, is it surprising that no one outside of your own party would support it?
("thinly veiled" is being generous here)

Single-transferable-vote (STV) combines ranked ballots and multi-member ridings, creating proportional results.
Used at multiple levels of government in Australia, Ireland & New Zealand. STV is one of our favourite electoral reform options for Canada. fairvote.ca/stv/

This has quickly become one of my most popular newsletter pieces.
Our media is failing and people want better. But our media is structured to fail them.
It’s a serious and growing problem.

Hi hello yes the current state of this hellsite means that every election (yes that one too) will be a nightmare worse than the last one.

It's not secret. Read Pierre Poilievre's voting record from Parliament. It tells you who he is and what he values. Over twenty years of data to read from.
I have, his voters largely haven't. Yet I and the rest of Canada will suffer the consequences nonetheless.
"The NDP stopped supporting Trudeau so it's their fault if we get an election" is not the brilliant political analysis you think it is.
