      Alternate headline : “Venal narcissists say meaningless words”

      Yeah… He could’ve put an end to fake majorities forever…

      But he had his own fake majority to protect, so…

      There’s nothing wrong with “weak” governments… “weak” governments have to LISTEN.

      And now we’ll get stuck with a majority conservative government that won’t have anywhere near 50% of the vote.

      Way to go dumbass.

      He only regrets it because he’s getting destroyed in the polls. Also, he says he regrets not pushing through what he wanted.

      If he regrets it, is there some reason that I’m missing that they don’t just do it now? You’d think the NDP would want to support it too.

      And yet, he still has a year to agree with the NDP, BQ and GP and implement voter reform. It’s been tabled multiple times in the house at this point and been shut down every time by the LPC vs. them offering alternatives or ammendments to the bills. Even PR (which would benefit the LPC less than RCV) would likely give them a decent boost in the polls and also all but guarantee Poilievre would never get a majority government.

      So, let’s see if Trudeau will have the decency to take a less than ideal option for them over a horrible one for everyone if they let FPTP go into the next election. My guess is he will throw us under the CPC bus and watch Canada burn under Poilievre though.

      We have a system that has worked across multiple countries for decades and in some cases hundreds of years. Is it perfect? Far from it. But would any other system be better? No idea, but it’s definitely not a change that should be taken lightly.

      And what should be noted with some skepticism is how the Liberals were against FPTP when they saw it to their disadvantage, were only interested in changing to a system that they perceived as being to their distinct advantage, abandoned the entire project when it became clear that no other party agreed with their preferred system and FPTP was working in their favour, and now are interested in talking about changing it again while they sit on the cusp of electoral oblivion.

      People that are so clearly acting in their own self-interest should not be trusted with leading any change of such magnitude.

      He won’t win – even if he’d implemented reforms. The Liberals are not going to exist after the next election regardless.

    17. WinteryBudz on

      So we’re going to support a party next that might actually follow through on this promise we want to see happen. Right?

    19. Amazonreviewscool67 on

      He should regret heavily contributing to making this country unaffordable which lead to Canadians looking toward a more drastic measure, which will most likely actually make things worse.

      Well done Liberals. And well done NDP for keeping Singh and doing yourself no favors to beat the Conservatives next year.

      Does he regret the mass migration ponzi scheme that he did not campaign on and was nowhere in his platform?

    23. LeviathansEnemy on

      Important thing to remember:

      He only wanted to do it if he could do it as ranked choice ballots, which no one else wanted.

      He wanted that, because under that kind of system he’d probably still be on track to continue running the government. Hell he’d probably be working with a majority right now instead of a minority.

    24. Zorops on

      But for who? NDP? Or the Conservative that want to airstrike Iran nuclear facility?

    25. Critical_Support_590 on

      If he would just man up and redo it he could retire from office in high regard. But noooooooo, he wants to complain and play the victim. Fucking hypocrisy.

      Its almost like you should make rules for everyone and not just for yourself.
