It’s been 9 years, and now we have a party with 42% of the popular vote in the polls being projected with 61% of the seats.
Why? Because Justin Trudeau never got rid of FPTP
As Prime Minister, I’ll make sure the 2015 election will be the last under first-past-the-post system

Donald Trump put our nation $8 trillion in debt in just four years, and there’s no indication that he’ll stop the spending sprees if he’s back in the White House.
Our kids are the ones who have to deal with that mess.

It’s more than “a little messed up”, especially since joking about sexual harassment is a terrible thing to do. And I’m not surprised about their reactions at all, sexual harassment sucks and nobody should have to go through these situations.

You're wrong buddy
Imane Khelif is a cisgender woman.
She was born female, was registered as a girl at birth, is legally a woman, & continues to identify as a woman.
Is transphobia now so bad that even cisgender women cannot be women if they don’t comply with a certain woman ideal-type?

The Ontario Liberals only won 8 seats with around 24% of the vote. They should’ve won 30 seats.
FPTP is a terrible electoral system & other winner-take-all systems like IRV won’t fix this lack of proportionality.
We need a proportional system in Ontario.

This will make it harder to take on the debt. Therefore, which programs that Canadians rely on will he cut?
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he's going to cut income tax when elected, arguing that simply abolishing the carbon tax will not go far enough to fix Trudeau's affordability crisis.

1) Seat distribution is a terrible way to measure popularity, in my opinion, especially since FPTP leads to underrepresentation for the NDP.
2) They may not be the first option for the majority of voters, but same goes for all of the other parties.
