Which goes to show that most of the shouting over the need to change the electoral system is driven by partisan interests. The ordinary voters are happy with the way things are now.

Oh no, I recognize a mess when I see one. I see it in the federal government every day who are there with the help of the NDP. It appears the NDP are very comfortable supporting corruption and incompetence. Why would anyone want that kind of party elsewhere in Canada? The UCP have also got a mess to clean up created by their former leader but they are now on the right track. Notley would just bow to Trudeau. No thanks.
Yes, there are a lot of dormant votes that are needing motivation to get engaged. Perhaps the rampant inflationary pressures on households will be the trigger?
If consumers have a long hard look at the money circulating in the economy today and tax burden itтАЩs a direct consequence of poor economic decisions being made by the Liberal Government. ItтАЩs too bad Liberal supporters wonтАЩt own up to it. Good decision making starts with identifying the problem and then making course corrections toward improvement. The Finance Minister boasts that a $90 billion deficit is тАЬkeeping her powder dryтАЭ. She might be fooling naive voters but she isnтАЩt fooling me.
Leadership is often framed by the surrounding circumstances of life. Winston Churchill carried a proud nation on his back for a victory over the Axis Powers, and yet his Government was turfed by the electorate at the next opportunity. Britain had decided that they didnтАЩt want a War Government any longer and wanted the focus turned inward toward improving national benefits.
Canada, like all democracies is struggling with an identity crisis, mostly manufactured out of thin air. Going forward we are going to have to come to terms with the divisions that are undermining our national identity and purpose. Is Justin Trudeau the leader to do that? Personally, I think he is part of the problem and if he hangs around there is a reasonable chance that he will experience his own Winston Churchill moment.
The rarest of political leaders in government these days are ones that groom leadership potential around them and make a deliberate departure while the party enjoys public approval.
Prime Minister Churchill misread the political winds after the War and got caught campaigning on goodwill that had evaporated. Which is the same lesson voters delivered to Justin Trudeau in 2021. The Covid goodwill toward the Government evaporated and his share of the popular vote dropped from 2019.
Well said. Feel free to repeat this as often and as loudly as you feel at any given moment. All political discussions in Canada these days should be viewed through this lens.

If you live in the west you are certainly NOT happy with how things are now.
Notley has common sense? Since when?
remember the mess she made last time? Isnr Alberta still cleaning it up?
And we all know what the NDP stand for? Just look at Singh!

+40% of the electorate is so happy with the way things are, they don't see any point to voting.

Gee Terry, youтАЩve drifted into whopper territory. I am going to take Mr. Wells advice and do a tune out.
Absolutely correct!
We're just not terribly happy with the choice of leaders....an any level.....who seem devoid of actual leadership characteristics.

You know, of course, that all leaders in democratic systems eventually get voted out? Just like Winnie did.
