    The part I do not understand is why the press have chosen Squinty McProudBoy and his base of racists, assholes, idiots, fascists, nazis, white supremacists, misogynists, and anti choice jerks. Also zero policies other than Trudeau bad. Plus he is a rich entitled land baron who has never held a job outside politics. trump lite is not what Canada needs or will ever need.

      You ever see that graphic of newspaper endorsements over the years? It’s very blue. Particularly the American owned papers. No one’s looking into that foreign interference though.

        Perhaps for the same reason why the press focuses on Trudeau and Squinty McProudBoy for Prime Minister despite them not being electable. The Prime Minister position is appointed. It means nothing to us.

        Doesn’t that imply someone else is going to be elected? And while the post is technically appointed, they’re very much the figureheads of their parties in a given election.

        The rest I totally agree with, though.

            I mean, seating in parliament is by party, and the government approved by the crown is all Liberal ministers. My local MP does absolutely nothing of note except occasionally campaigning and following the marching orders from his own party.

            You’re right, the powdered wig guys in Britian centuries ago probably were envisioning it that way when they wrote the rules, but that’s absolutely not how the system works in practice.
