I don't think it is a bad thing for the Greens to hold the balance of power, in fact I enjoy minority Governments compared to Majority governments.

The Greens in BC are a lot different from the Federals in many ways, and I would vote for them if they had a chance in my riding, but at the end of the day I have always voted NDP with a nod to the Greens because the NDP has a more realistic and attainable platform.

As far as BC politics go, in a nut shell, it is a damn mess and always has been. haha

Seeing that the Conservatives cannot form a government even if they win the last two seats is comforting after a stress filled week.

It is especially sweet that the NDP is still in the hunt for a majority.

What is best for the party is using their time to pass legislation that benefits Canadians enough to make them want to vote Liberal again.

Anyone who thinks this is all about the PM is drinking what Pierre is selling. If the Liberals showed real results on the files that actually matter to the people of Canada, Pierre wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

It would seem, based on polling data, that a majority are drinking the Conservative kool-aid and support Pierre winning the next election. Which runs contrary to your main point.

I never said "bringing down the Government" would help keep Pierre out. I said if the Liberal MPs actually felt strongly they would take strong actions instead of wasting everyone else's time and handing Pierre ammunition to use against the Liberal party as a whole.

If Pierre's history in Canadian politics cannot stop the fucker, a random new Liberal leader won't do it either.

All this letter did is give the MPs something for their constituents to demonstrate "at least I tried". This is nothing but MPs desperately clinging to their jobs, not desperately trying to stop the Conservative party from winning the next election.

If they cared about the latter they would be working on things that would make problems in Canada better, which is the Conservatives whole "platform", not wasting time trying to oust the PM.

They need to stop wasting time on party politics.

If they want to keep their jobs they should work on making their constituents happy enough to elect them again.

If the MPs are serious about this they should leave the party, sit as independents, and vote against the Government on a confidence motion.

If Trudeau is so bad it is time to nut up or shut up.

How is character.ai responsible for the suicide of someone clearly in need of mental health help?

Facebook doesn’t hand out your personal information to others, and if you think they do, then you don’t understand how targeted ads work.

It is explicitly stated in the TOS that Meta does indeed hand out your personal information to others.

If you think they don't, read the TOS.

It is scary how willfully ignorant people are regarding that stain on Canadian politics.

Here is hoping that NB taking down the Cons will have a cascading effect for everyone else, especially Ontario and Alberta.

Honestly I hope Translink goes completely bust so the Government can buy it back for peanuts.
