I for one have been bombarded with polls, with the question of whether a referendum should be required pretty central to it. Here's hoping everyone else answering is asking for Proportionality too.

Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

Here's hoping the referendum doesn't include a choice for "keep the current system". That may be the only circumstance I'd be fine with a referendum - that, and making it a non-binding "public interest" sort of deal.

The Referendum will probably have 8 choices on it with one needing 70% of the vote to move to that system.

Trudeau is definitely the PM canadians deserve.quote:But a more interesting statistic emerged when Abacus asked how people would feel if a carbon pricing plan that encouraged a shift toward greater use of clean energy was accompanied by a new pipeline to get Canada’s oil and gas to new markets.

Canada has a long standing tradition of poisoning indigenous people within its own borders as well. Doesn't need to be mine effluent, for years mercuric chloride was dumped into pulp mill effluent as a defoaming agent so people wouldn't get upset about seeing foamy water. I wonder why people might be a little skeptical at being told the methyl mercury in Muskrat Falls sediment is natural and shouldn't be a problem when more of it gets flushed into the new reservoir?

I'm almost genuinely surprised the Quebec liberals didn't try to reopen them; they were promising to renew loans during the election that shut the mines down, while telling them to get hosed was the PQ's plan.

wait this is the best partJustin Trudeau posted:Sous M. [Stephen] Harper, il y avait tellement de gens mécontents du gouvernement et de son approche que les gens disaient “ça prend une réforme électorale pour ne plus avoir de gouvernement qu’on n’aime pas”. Or, sous le système actuel, ils ont maintenant un gouvernement avec lequel ils sont plus satisfaits. Et la motivation de vouloir changer le système électoral est moins percutante [ou moins criante]. quote:Under Harper, there were so many people unhappy with the government and his approach that people were saying "we need electoral reform to no longer have a government we don't like". But now, under the current system, they have a government they're happy with, so the motivation to change the system is no longer there.

Justin is basically Obama who was quoted as saying "show me a movement", as in he was only willing to do something if there was already a movement of people who wanted it done. Basically classical worthless populist politician not willing to stick his neck out and content to coast on feel-good speeches.

That's giving both Trudeau and Obama way too much credit. All evidence suggests both of them are politicians deep within the elite-consensus-bubble and that they'd greet any movement pushing for policies outside that bubble with extreme irritation and disdain. Just look at how Trudeau has treated native activists or the way the Obama justice department actively coordinated with local law enforcement to close down the various Occupy Wall Street encampments spread around the country.

Only progressive in the sense that he doesn't fight against the will of the majority. So he's totally pro gay rights but only as soon as the focus groups and polling show that it's viable politically, then he's in the pride parades. Why he has now flopped on electoral reform and pipelines. Soon others no doubt.
