Honestly, this feels a little gross.

Too many people just spent the last 5 weeks demanding that everyone "hold their nose and vote Liberal to keep the Conservatives out", knowingly cratering support for the smaller parties, and now you turn around and are all like "we have to work together"?

Fuck. That.

We have common cause, but if the Liberals were serious about working together they would have embraced proportional representation. They didn't. They wanted domination, campaigning hard in Green & NDP ridings and even with the #ElbowsUp anti-Trump wave, Canadians still didn't want to trust them with a majority. It's not the role of the smaller parties to prop up the neoliberal "shit lite" party, it's to force them to do right by the country. I expect them to do that.

I completely agree the liberals wanted all the seats for themselves while acting like they deserve 100% of the power with only 42% of the vote while the smaller parties pulled out of some to avoid splitting the vote.

In a better world the liberals and conservatives would only receive 49% of the vote at most so they're forced to stop doing the bidding of corporations and oligarchs without question.

It's an election. What party doesn't want that??

I'm sitting here waiting for the Bloc Quebecois to run in Vancouver.
