Wake me up when they have a platform published.
I really hope Trudeau does a last-hour electoral reform shenanigan, as a legacy statement or something. Then I can stop having to decide between strategic voting and throwing my vote away. Alas.

MODERATORS
He won't, and if he does it's inevitably going to be ranked ballots which unfairly favours the Liberal Party and won't have the desired effect of increasing the representation of people who vote anything other than Lib or Con.
Why would the current government do electoral reform years (and two elections) after failing to deliver on the promise that "2015 will be the last federal election under first-past-the-post"?
Plus public opinion of Trudeau is so poisoned that, at this point, his supporting of electoral reform would likely just make it even more unpopular amongst the electorate.
and if he does it's inevitably going to be ranked ballots
I think that illustrates part of the difficulty faced by the calls for changing the electoral system. There are multiple other systems, each with their positives and negatives. Determining which is the "best" one to use is not a straightforward process.
There will be shouts of unfairness from multiple factions no matter which would be ultimately chosen.
Desperately want this too
Instead of being chastened, Poilievre and his fellow Conservatives embraced the term to describe policies and ideas with which they disagree. (After not being used more than three times in the House in any given year between 1994 and 2023, the word "wacko" has so far been uttered 79 times in the House in 2024.)
This right here is their goal. They copied the GOP handbook to cater to the outrage of people and normalize personal attacks without actually standing for anything yourself.
That's exactly it.
Obviously. It's culture war bullshit that he learned from Trump.
