we just "hard reset" the machine and it booted, but it is still perplexing why is this happening.

yes. In all fairness we're to elect the worst of two evils thanks to FPP election system. Any other party (NDP included) is not entering the picture because Politics became team sports supercharged with FPP. Despite my full dislike of Libs I will likely pinch my nose and vote for them, just because in my riding there's no chance is freezing hell NDPs or anyone else can take a seat from Cons...
yes, but this time it will be properly dismissed as "fake news"
YES. Next question.
lets elect Conservatives... that'll put a stop to those exports! right?
If NDP starts acknowledging the fact that their power lies with minority government, they could pivot campaign messaging but they won't and people are scared of what next is going to come out of US so they would vote incumbent party like any time any country faces external pressure etc.
I have experience participating in local chapter for a party, but when you get some ideas pushed to a party congress and get it squashed because it's being controlled by the people opposing the change it kind of turns you off.
lets hope it "sticks". Any class in economics say "diversify your portfolio", Canada needs just that. 10% hit is less than 90% hit if you're dealing with multiple partners.
Taking over Dems is next to impossible for progressives as entrenched elite is backed by "big money" and is effective at torpedoing progressives every time. Take big money out of politics and you may have a chance at overtaking party, otherwise - screwed
those are words of a politician. This is what "sells" today. We'll need to see very specific actions to back it up. Thus far most politicians shown lack of spine and would turn on a dime at first opportunity. Canada could've been "divorced" from US for over a decade now when Cretien hinted at desire to move in that direction... but nope, here we are overdependant on US and thumping our chests "never again".
system's gotta go for sure
he's like those "zero fat" snacks full of sugar and unpronounceable crap...
