fossil fuels ain't going anywhere high speed trains suck and Canada electing another party that is nearly identical to the Liberals will fix fuck all

that isn't the argument the argument is that the war on heroine makes that problem worse prohibition for the fail

none of your reasons are good most of them are just lies that you find palatable wishful thinking that goes against all historical evidence and the reality of the Canadian electorate that ain't gonna cut it

the laws on the books suck changing the laws that suck is a good thing at least you are consistent in that you buy into the shitty anti-gun and anti-drug law arguments but that makes you twice as wrong

I stand back in awe of the stupidity of the left on guns I stand back in awe of the stupidity of the right on drugs you are just using the left's idiotic anti-gun arguments against drugs and somehow don't see your own hypocrisy the same way the left uses the right's idiotic anti-drug arguments against guns and somehow can't see their own hypocrisy

your idea will make Canada less likely to change and adapt, in actually important ways it can easily get worse change for the sake of change claiming it can't get any worse than the status quo is the kind of bullshit that commies fall for FPTP is just your Capitalism it's the same utopian thinking the idea that tearing down the system will bring that utopia about because the only reason utopia doesn't exist already is the system prevents it your "logic" is communist "logic"

cooperation is not communist the people you want to cooperate with are though and that will take the form of you caving to their demands and them not giving you squat that's just a shitty plan and it will just make Canada even worse than it already is

pandering to communists will fix Canada? that's pretty delusional that's the biggest reason the Canadian status quo sucks and you want to double down on that, while pretending to be anti-status quo? that's useful idiot shit, right thurr you overrate cooperation particularly with those who are totally unreasonable and won't cooperate with anyone who is reasonable no matter how much you cave to them, they won't cave to you the cooperation will be a one way street and it ain't the direction you want it to go the amount of naive wishful thinking that serves as the justification for your position is off the charts the road to hell is paved with good intentions you want to design a system based on Canadians being what you want them to be instead of designing a system based on who Canadians actually are and that is doomed to failure unrealistic idealism is a helluva drug

I laugh at those who think the problem with the system is that the government doesn't crack down harder on something that shouldn't be illegal social conservatives deserve to take shit for that nonsense take

more elections PR plays to the advantage of the lefty parties the CPC is the last party who would scrap FPTP the NDP is the only party who would do it the most right leaning parties in Canada aren't going to be forming many coalitions with only 40% of the popular vote the only way they could, is to move even further to the left than they have already, to get a lefty party to join their coalition you want make Canada lean even harder to left, then PR is the way to go

sure but that doesn't mean we should do that with a moronic tax give the government more money or control is not the solution all these fake environmentalists are just using the environment as an excuse to implement shitty leftist policies if they really cared about the environment, that wouldn't be the case therefore it's not about the environment, it's about control since any measure that doesn't give the government more control and/or more taxpayers money is dismissed as not good enough it is clear what their actual priority really is, regardless of cloaking their agenda as being about something more palatable obvious scam is obvious

it doesn't but neither does a carbon tax not paying the carbon tax has an upside paying the carbon tax is all downside

if Canadians listened to me more often they'd be a lot better off they aren't going to though but they can't say I didn't warn them

the other countries don't want to join Russia you are the one who wants them to they will not do so willingly therefore the only way it can happen is if it is done unwillingly by war you are supporting Russian imperialism against the will of a population twice the size of Russia this will not result in peace and thriving it's not in Eastern Europe's interest to turn over the keys to Russia knock off the gaslighting

a stupid unnecessary tax forget the rebate just don't tax them in the first place problem solved

Canada is not the Netherlands Canadians will not vote for most of their parties PR is not some big gamechanger that heavily influences how an electorate votes they will vote for the same parties they would under FPTP a few extra seats for the smaller parties is a nothingburger that won't fix anything the left will have even more power than they have now it will be worse

that would be the case under PR as well the Liberals and Conservatives would be forming all the coalitions in fact the Liberals would win even more often than they do now the "alternatives" wouldn't win shit you assume this is only happening because of FPTP but you're wrong

FPTP does neither of those things you can't even name one fundamental problem with the system and have no better alternative yet are so supportive of changing it come back when you can actually point out issues in the system AND have a superior alternative your argument is trash

the most popular is selected in both FPTP and PR best ain't got nothing to do it both allow fair and open competition look at any nation with PR all the parties suck there too

they really don't work well at all FPTP works far better the grass is not greener on the other side

to be fair myata is very often not blind but on this one he's as blind about PR fixing Canada's poor governance as eyeball is about in-camera lobbying fixing Canada's poor governance at least in myata's case the solution doesn't infringe on free speech though but they both fall into the trap of assuming those changes are like waving a magic wand and all Canada's issues will be resolved when they will actually just make the situation worse

come up with a better system not one that is worse than the 17th century system you sound like a Marxist criticizing capitalism while actively promoting a worse system and claiming it isn't worse because you can't do worse than the status quo so just try it

The Nazi's formed a coalition too so what? you tout coalitions like it's inherently a good thing or results in less partisanship it doesn't PR sucks you say the only way to see if it works as you claim it will is to try it but it's been tried on numerous occasions never once worked out the way you think it will and the sample size ain't small this time it will work is the same argument the Commies use whenever someone points out how it failed everytime it's a shitty argument for communism and shitty argument for PR

yet you remain blind to the fact that PR is so partisan the Nazi's can rise under it that's definitely the best system lulz meanwhile he blames FPTP for partisanship in politics Weimar Germany superfan number one, myata

PR is more partisan ask the Nazi's, they were elected under PR you are championing Weimar Germany more parties in parliament doesn't equal less partisanship it equals more partisanship none of the problems you claim are unique to FPTP are unique to it none of the upsides you claim are unique to PR are unique to it and can exist in a FPTP system you make no sense you are just babbling
