Title says it all.

There's a "law" about the trend to a two party system under FPTP in political science called: Duverger's law

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duverger%27s_law

Trudeau promised that in his first term, surprise surprise, all he managed to do was legalize weed (its worse now)

Agreed. First past the post IS a two party system because math

Yep, it is lame. Really the story of NDP voters sitting this one out becuase of Eby's ChatGPT-ass decision to ignorantly gamble with everyone's lives.

It was a fucking stupid move; and this situation is completely his fault. He had probablky two more years to produce something of value for voters and to have an actual plan to do something more than make spurious claims about hypothetical worst case Conservative rule.

I'm not saying those claims are totally baseless, but.. wtf.

Canada does not instant run-off ranked choice which would cement a 2-party system more. We need to be like Ireland not Australia.

First-past-the-post will always move towards a two party system. Time to start working on a massive PR campaign in favor of ranked choice voting if you don't want to end up mirroring the US.

With respect, do you have evidence first past the post would have led to a different outcome here? I agree we want it, but this was a rough election.

Transphobes are inherently sexist, misogynist pieces of shit, yes.

Properly representing Canada’s diversity in parliament strengthens unity against imperial powers.

Justin Trudeau used prorep language to get elected then he switched to promoting instant run-off ranked ballots which could could’ve entrenched a 2-party system more so than first-past-the-post.

We need a fair electoral system when the Canadian government already appoints judges, senators and their own direct representatives installed in the senate.

It’s too dangerous to a let a minority supported government to have that kind of power.

From what I remember it was along the lines of ' I support it, but there's bigger priorities right now' , given the whole context of 51st state threats and the beginnings of the current trade war.

I'd vote for a party that believably committed to proportional rep in a heartbeat. So let down after Trudeau dropped it.

I mean I asked the same when I was a kid about comics and joker, Luther, etc not being permanently dealt with if they kept coming back and doing evil.

Big "Ruthkanda Forever" vibes here. I'm betting a child did not come up with that

At least Quebec has a minority government.

This is why Mark Carney claimed he supported proportional representation in 2025 and then never brought it back up.

separating from Canada!

Just call it sedition. If it is when Alberta does it - it is - then it needs to be when Qc does it.

First past the post fucking sucks

Not great democracy.

It's an everyone problem unfortunately.

If they can get a few more people to not turn out they'll have a lock on separating from Canada!

Voter turnout doesn't matter you don't turn up that is your problem.

Minority government and lowish voter turnout means they dont have a mandate for a referendum.

Whoops wasn’t intentional, sorry Avi Lewis.

His name is Avi.
