there were as many people who were voting to get rid of harper as were voting for trudeau
The Liberal party won by almost the exact amount of new voters that turned out. I was shocked to find out after the election how many people openly admitted they voted for pot.

Care to give a run down? Looks confusing.
Proportional representation is you get seats in parliament/senate based on the % of the vote you get. Coalitions are formed to get a majority, largest party in the majority usual gets pm/president, then forms a cabinet in negotiations with their coalition partners.

And gullible apparently. Brexit promised the world and produced turd.|
Trump promised... walls and no muslims and Putin's balls... lol. And will produce turd 'if' he wins this thing. There'll be some angry Trumpets in 4 years when he delivers nothing but bankruptcy (& Euro War III)... if he wins this thing.

I really wish you guys could see our CBC coverage of the election Just right now...

Host: (30 second rant about how Trump is a loose cannon, throws to panel)

Panelist 1: (45 second rant about how Trump is a lose cannon, doesn't have the gumption to deal with hard situations)

Panelist 2: (30 second rant about how Trump doesn't understand how laws work, can't be trusted, doesn't pay his employees)

Panelist 3: (60+ second rant about how Trump is racist, will hold minorities down, supports racist ideas like Stop and Frisk)


Talk about unbiased coverage...

They want that here, but it would be a disaster. We're a 3 party system with a right wing party, a left wing party and a farther left win party. So it'd basically become a dictatorship, lol.

Yet, in some ways a farmer in North Dakota living and farming on 150 acres does more for America than all 300 people living in a single city block in Manhattan. He deserves a voice, and not necessarily at a 1:1 ratio.
Well that not really democratic if it isn't 1:1 ratio

I won't watch CBC anymore. If you're as disgusted as you sound you should boycott them too. Speak with your dollars.

Or the conservative party could make compromises with the center left party to form a coalition. Or people vote differently and more parties pop up.
