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:
You decide which lie crosses the line, but broken promises are part and parcel of the political system. It's always about compromises and which compromises are critical for you. Personally very much not a fan of dropping electoral reform. That said we got a half-decent government that did a lot of useful changes over the years since 2015. It also oversaw a tumultuous pandemic fairly well all things considered. I shudder at the thought of going through the height of the pandemic with Scheer, O'Toole or pipsqueak.
Shhh don't bring logic into this.
