>Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is abandoning his long-held promise to change the way Canadians vote in federal elections — an about-face his opposition rivals angrily characterized Wednesday as a cynical betrayal of trust.
>“Changing the electoral system will not be in your mandate,” the prime minister writes in the letter, released Wednesday.
>Trudeau repeatedly promised — both as a campaigning Liberal leader and as prime minister in a speech from the throne — to get rid of the current first-past-the-post voting system in time for the 2019 federal election.
>Green party Leader Elizabeth May said she felt betrayed, noting that many members of her party had urged people to vote strategically — in favour of the Liberals — based on their promise to bring in electoral reform.
>“I feel more deeply shocked and betrayed by my government today than on any day of my adult life,” she said.
>Canadians made their views known through the House of Commons special committee on electoral reform, town halls held by MPs from all parties, the travels of former minister Maryam Monsef and a much-maligned online survey called MyDemocracy.ca.
Good. I love how everyone is slowly turning on that idiot.
Look pretty all you want but you'll never be a politician.

“I feel more deeply shocked and betrayed by my government today than on any day of my adult life,” she said.
I swear to god most of the world are fucking morons. I cant even fathom some people these days.

I fucking wish, the Liberals on my campus are already whining saying "the election system is perfect, we are guaranteed no Drumpf" and I wish I was lying
Oops I mean, I love Islam and Sharia Law please no raid me gracious lord Trudeau

Well look on the bright side, at least he didn't lie to you about legalizing weed, right?
Gabriel Long
I said slowly. The left loves eating each other one way or another to show how much better they are.
Joseph Rivera
Tbh he should keep it illegal. They report they put out introduces way too much government red tape. And it won't benefit the economy.
Grayson Jenkins
He's going to legalize it but it will blow up so bad in his face he would wish he didn't.
This idiot doesn't know anything

Poor Canadians desu
You guys need some freedom

I'm not even doing this ironically, I'm actually scared of saying shit on the internet for this first time ever in my life

i cant wait till im 70 and theres some internet comment hunter kicking down my door and i sit in court being called a evil human being for being conservative

please no freedom.
countries tend to be an uranium riddled cesspit once youre done ''freeing'' them
>I'm actually scared of saying shit on the internet for this first time ever in my life ive grown more scared of saying what i want on the internet too. couple years ago i could say the most vile and disgusting shit you can think of but no im treading a little more carefully
>THIS IS Sup Forums AND YOU FUCKS ARE SCARED TO SPEAK YOUR MIND You cant deny that the odds that this site is monitored 24/7 by at least 1 entity are very high. I slack off a little bit on the hitler/fascism stuff even if im not natsoc and cool down the racism (for pol standards, still super racist according to any other standards) just in case. I sometimes imagine the police knocking at the door and having to explain this to my gf. I also never comment when somebody says he's gonna attack x place
I'm probably just paranoid honestly
William Brooks
me neither, I'm just a little skeptical of the refugee gibsmedat situation
I think it's ridiculous they get 43k for free while the average Canadian household earns 26k a year.
some guy posted in my university group asking people to donate a list of items for a Syrian family that was moving to my uni's city. the list included:
>TV with internet capabilities >Macbooks >Espresso machine
what the everloving fuck! these people were demanding they were provided with this stuff! and THE KEKS WERE ACTUALLY GIVING IT TO THEM FOR FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Make my motwo your motto >you never know who you're dealing with It apply to all things, do everything in moderation. There's no point in revealing yourself if you lack the power to defend yourself.
Carter Williams
I've told my former refugee humping friend to put a family up in their house. They refused of course. Calling it "ridiculous". Liberals love anything they can keep at arms length.
Charles Morgan
It's honest though, I don't know how long you've been here but this is literally the privilege police coming to make sure you check it.
I know what you mean though, the VPN law that passed with the FBI scared me but it just goes to show how fierce this battle is for online expression and freedom of information and all that shit.
I used to and still believe in it. Aaron Schwartz died for it, despite le reddit background be actually had balls. And we all need to grow a pair.
Charles Morris
JUSTin not keeping his promises because he knows by changing the system the liberals wont win the next election who would have guessed well at lease the senate will be abolished nah fuck that too the senates good now
hey at least weed will be legal in 2 months oh wait... of course not he needs some sort of carrot to keep in front of morons to vote liberal next election
I would really like to know what JUSTin's REAL approval ratting is
ri"ght wingers" are fucking cry babies in this country for having just one party

I know the surveillance in canada is high (dont know the extent)
I know they know the far right is gaining traction. They're not fucking stupid. they're not fucking stupid: They know this site. Im sure this pol is monitored by canadian anti-hate shit.
Maybe they arrest lot of people for hate speech but it never makes the news.
So yeah i do express myself in moderation. my mind is still freer than >99.9% of the diversity zombies out there
people were advocating expelling all students involved with this.
Jace Bennett
I'm just saying, information is key, we need the internet and the chon, regardless of how good or shit it has, or hasn't always been.
As long as the internet operates with lanes to this information for free, then that's what can lead to true free thought.
I remember at least some of us being tech literate, what happened to that?
Connor Scott
The tech you use is already compromised. Does anyone remember that one brand of laptop that comes with hardware encryption and sells for thousands of dollars despite being from the late 1990s?
Ayden Ramirez
War. We need another world War or some other equal event. We're in a period of stagnation and that stagnation let's degeneracy fester.
That or just the end of humanity. For those I know I can't redpill, I instead slowly convert to nihilism.
Aaron Cooper
Shouldn't have been a fag and gone to Queens. You reap what you sow
Ian Perez
We need something to abolish safe spaces. Bullying, cruelty, death and such are part of natural order and need to be accepted and not rejected. Those are thing that must be overcome to make one into a strong capable person.
Rejecting them makes people into children.

I don't think that a human to human war would accomplish anything but a reduced human impact on the planet for several hundreds of years. Which would be a good thing I'd guess mother earth would say.
Otherwise there is the question what would happen after a war. What structures would be set up. Who would be in charge. How people are being educated after that. etc. etc. etc.
Afterall we're dealing with a mind virus, reinforced through inharitance, willfull participation and memetics.
It's the (((System))) that is the problem.
How do we get rid of it? It needs to be replaced with something else.
Problem is that the current (((System))) - as it seems - works simply perfectly.

We need to destroy the system. Too bad social media has jewed the west out of ever being able to lead a proper rebellion.

He also promised to end the oil pipelines along the west coast
> west coast pipelines pushed through

>Trudeau wants Gould, Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan and Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale to come up with ways to defend the Canadian political system against cyberthreats and hackers — a possible consequence of the “voter fraud” and hacked email controversies emanating from the raucous U.S. election. this russian spook meme seriously needs to end soon

If only this had a chance to give us a trump come next election, but no. We're fucked anyway because of cancercanucks.
Brody Morales
Well, hopefully Winnipeg will be free of trouble this year too. What does the canceled electoral reform entail?
Adam Reyes
There seems to be enough demand...
Would anyone else be serious in trying to apply as a Canadian Refugee to the USA to escape this socialist liberal nightmare?
If there is enough, we could get on Trumps radar and negotiate an exchange - All the lefty faggots can leave the USA and flood Canada, while all the non-retarded Europeans left can gtfo
Josiah Sanders
Exactly. I was all for decriminalization. When governments benifit from desire (alcohol & tobacco tax, gambling) the society degrads and those corporate interests are given a right to lobby based on government policy. If there is no big government to step in and regulate, their is no need for these degenerate corporate groups to pour millions of dollars into our electoral system, corrupting everything in it's path.
Luke Ward
hopefully a vote of no confidence but the MPs are retarded beyond all belief so that isn't happening.
he hasn't done one thing he has promised.
>budget will balance itself >legal weed >electoral reform >more fugees (didn't even manage to do this) >no pipelines
what the fuck has he been doing in office?
Wyatt Peterson
Has his popularity tanked? It seems that lately people prefer liar govts than ones who do what they promised. Look at the flak Trump is taking, or our own government.
Liam Long
Canada is special, unlike the rest of the world which opinion is kept secret and only the media is allowed to speak, cucknadians truly believe in the media-style bullshit narratives. His popularity is very high, and it's not going down anytime soon. And unlike for trump, no numbers need be fudged to yield high acceptance rates for trudeau.
Jason Gray
I'm not sure we don't really have approval (((polls))) here that I know of
There are still plenty, and I mean PLENTY, of deluded idiots who think he is doing a spectacular job.
Again, these people only care about a smile. They have been lied to for so fucking long that as soon as someone competent (trump) enters office and is transparent they eat him alive.
Liberals: they will shake your hand while stabbing your back
Conservative: will stab your back while telling you to fuck off

Holy shit, Canada's Green Party are so cucked that they urge their supporters to vote for other parties.

>hopefully a vote of no confidence but the MPs are retarded beyond all belief so that isn't happening.
He would need people in his own party for something to become a no-confidence vote.
It's not happening.
Jason Young
They've a meme party with literally one member of parliament (see )
Robert Gonzalez
>He would need people in his own party TO VOTE AGAINST HIM* for something to become a no-confidence vote.
I accidentally an important part of that sentence.
Parker Wilson
Have people forgot that refugees are suppose to go back once the situation stabilized? They should get food, water, and not be shot and then they go home.
Gavin Young
The funny part is after sHilling for Syrian refugees, they turned on Trudeau for not looking after the homeless.
Ayden Rogers
Obviously you would fucking do that The only reason he got a fucking majority with 40% of the vote is FTTP voting
What else are you going to do? Give the NDP a 30% share in government and allow them to be the decider of what gets past?
