Do not get me wrong, I agree that we needed him for the trade war, bit we cannot forget about these important issues because they are extremely important to maintaining our democracy.

I would've personally preferred, in this specific case, a minority Liberal gov with an NDP official opp.

Carney is good for the trade war, but pressure from the NDP wouldve reigned in some of the aforementioned BS

Agreed. Minority governments are nearly always my preference as well.

Minority governments are nearly always my preference as well.

With the caveat that the other parties have to be willing to work towards win-win compromises that are in the interests of the country.

Calling non-confidence votes every other week and saying no simply because the governing party said yes is completely useless and provides no value to the country., which is exactly how PP's conservatives have operated.

This is why I like the NDP as official opp, they have a history of putting pressure on the minority gov and getting shit through.
