This is no surprise. PP is just a fascist version of Trudeau. Nothing will change except laws targeting the lgbtq community and relaxing environmental regulations.
FPTP strongly weights towards a two-party system (where party means individual or group of individuals). The only real voting choices are to vote for a candidate or to vote against a candidate. Any other choice is wildly ineffective.
There are many other systems that are better representations of the will of the people, both at the political party level and at the candidate level, but the caveat is that the two main parties will almost never be able to exercise the amount of power they currently have again. This may appear to be a good thing to the citizenry, but not to the two main parties.
Canada is a two-party system, we just happen to have more than two parties in that system.
Edit: downvotes? Really? 2016 and the broken Electoral Reform promise was not that long ago do we have to explain proportional and ranked voting systems and the flaws of first-past-the-post again?

Is there even a good choice to vote for?
Yes.
Canada is not a two-party system, although for some reason many can’t seem to look beyond the Lib/Con juggernaut.
But it is basically a 2 party system if only libs and cons ever win. It’s a circlejerk.
This is what I’m referring to. In effect it’s a 2 party system, which is frustrating.
It’s only that way because too many won’t vote for an alternative.
Take the plunge! Vote NDP or Green!

Didn’t read the bracketed text immediately after the quoted text, did you?
You’re wasting your breath with this one.

The NDP has about as good policy as you’re going to get in Canada if you care at all about the working class.
