We're looking for more moderators, especially those who are of French and indigenous identities.
Nous recherchons davantage de modérateurs, notamment ceux qui sont d'identité française et autochtone.
Eh... eh... eh....
The Liberals deserve a good portion of that blame - especially w.r.t. grocery chains which only got a slap on the wrists after the bread price fixing scheme.
It's not like the CPC would have done anything differently had they been in charge (both parties are deeply neoliberal) but the NDP, Greens or BQ likely would've responded much stronger.

Isn't it a coincidence that all three parties NDP🟧, Greens🟢, and BQ⚜️ support proportional representation?
I think the bigger issue is that if a party gains majority it tends to sour on passing PR. Not to get all depressing up in here but in BC the NDP rode to power on promises of PR, held a sabotaged referendum, and never brought it up again.
I think it's still better to vote for parties that promise proportional representation (NDP/Greens/Bloc), than none at all (LPC/CPC).
I'm in absolute agreement with that.
P.P.'s ex-gf and top advisor is Jenni Byrne, one of Loblaws' top lobbyist.

Can't speak to Greens or BQ, but every time the NDP has gotten into power, they've done so by betraying their principles and their base. And, as someone who's had way more direct interaction with party insiders than I ever expected, the party machine is very much focused on electability, not serving the public.
So, call me sceptical. And cynical.
Unfortunately, all parties focus on electability… No potential for serving the public if you can't get elected.

He's like a dog that caught the car. His whole shtick was drop Trudeau and drop the carbon tax. Now both have happened.
This is exactly what "conservatives" do. They are always looking to point the finger, but never at themselves. They do not believe in majority rules, they want "elites" making all the decisions, like down south.
Hmm, concentration of power, versus the dissemination of power (as in proportional representation). Makes sense as to why some parties act the way they do.
