The 2015 federal election was the first in which I was eligible to vote. I considered voting Liberal because of the party's promises that 2015 would be the last federal election under FPTP. I ended up voting NDP. This lie has assured that I will never consider voting for the LPC.
Particularly frustrating are the comments Trudeau made to Le Devoir about the decision to not go through with electoral reform. Here's a translation of the relevant quote:
I don't think he'll regret it as PP will never bring it up either. Maybe the NDP will bring it up but that would mean they'll have to promise something as well.
Yeah, the Cons have no reason at all to move away from FPTP, it's probably the only electoral system under which they have any chances at power.
I could see the Libs bringing it up again in the future, I don't think they'd go for anything other than ranked ballots though, which would obviously benefit the centrist Liberal party.
Trudeau: third time's the charm!
LOL
