      Makes sense to me.

      If you’re going to lose anyway, might as well make big moves that are good for the country that would normally require more political capitol. Plus the more good they can do, the less a Poilievre government will be able to roll *all* of it back, forcing them to pick and choose where to regress our nation.

      No different than the Sec-Gen of the UN.

      There is a historical pattern of first term SGs doing little to nothing, big speeches, lots of condemnation, but no big Security Council Resolutions… until they’re in their second term. You can start to actually make changes…

      Antonio Guterres is in his 2nd term till 2026, and he’s begun to really play his hand. We look forward to watching even bigger impacts. Same works here for the Liberals. Tax the rich? Fuck it, won’t be getting their endorsements next election anyways, split the oligopolies (I’m hoping and reaching a bit)? Fuck em, split em. Etc

      You know what would be a real gutsy move to help the country? Electoral reform. The CPC growth is being fueled by some *very* dangerous ideologies. And right now those ideologies have a disproportionately large influence. How about we cut into that and make it proportionate and democratic? That would directly cut into their opportunity to get a *false* majority.

      They can pass and implement whatever they want, but it’s all at risk of being dismantled if the CPC gain a false majority.

      The Ontario Liberals did this, unfortunately as soon as Ford came into power he reverted all of the great changes that the Liberals made. Now six years later he’s finally, slowly reimplementing some of those changes that he overturned. So it’s not necessarily a done deal if Trudeau does something like this. PP can easily do the same thing Ford did and stop progress as soon as he takes power.

      Eg: Zoning reform, accountability for corrupt police officers, sick days, etc
