You aren’t wrong.
We’re stuck with the first past the post electoral system which is following the same route of falling into the 2 party trap. Corporations are buying those two parties and they are both further right than I think a lot of Canadians want, but the left leaning parties are a hard option to vote for, out of fear of the rightmost party getting the seat of power.
Trudeau did get elected originally on the promise of electoral reform with the NDP, but that promise was one of many he broke, and who knows how long before we can get it back as a voter issue.
Right now no one can get past the fear of economic uncertainty, which is being used by both the Liberals and Conservatives to ignore things that are much bigger in the long run, like climate change, and electoral stagnation.
The original idea of the first past the post setup was that the second past the post was the vice president.
We’ve undone that.
The House are the people’s representatives, the Senate was supposed to be the States’ representatives, and since each state is supposed to be equal, all states have two senators. It was supposed to be a check on the mob rule of the House.
We’ve also undone that.
It’s no wonder we are in the state we are in now. We’ve undone ourselves completely.
