Yeah good point. A Liberal minority might have worked, but there's only so much capital the coalition parties can spend. Would they have used it on PR? I think the NDP would use it on more immediate things.

Hear hear! A Liberal victory would probably be the worst outcome for PR. Then we'd have to wait another 8-16 years to cycle through the Libs / PCs again. If there's a silver lining to this election result, it's that maybe after 11 years of Ford there will actually be enough momentum to make it happen.

I may be be grasping at straws here 🙃

Blaming the candidates is missing the point. It's the party leaders who need to make this happen.

There needs to be a single alliance party right from the outset who's only mandate is to implement PR, call an election and disband.

I'm not disagreeing that trumps claims are bullshit? I'm wondering what the "lots of time and money" were. AFAIK, we spent a few million dollars to fly some helicopters around. We might just have very different definitions of what "a lot of money" means in the context of federal spending.

Besides, if those millions of dollars bought us one extra month of no tariffs, that's the investment of the century. Quite the opposite of a waste of time.

What effort and spending did we do? My understanding that it was just a bunch of platitudes or things that were already in the works.

Honestly, after reading some reviews I haven't even watched it.

Fair enough! I haven't seen any of those nor am I familiar with the source material. Maybe there's hope yet

Amazon is 1 for 4 on doing justice to adaptations I was very excited for. I'm not holding my breath on this one.
