The Great Almighty — whatever name you might wish to give him or her — obviously likes a joke. With less than a week to go before election day, Canadian voters appear to be the butt of one.One of the bigger promises Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau broke after winning the 2015 election was his pledge to introduce electoral reform. Out would go first-past-the-post, in would come something else.
New Democratic Party Leader Jagmeet Singh let it be known on the weekend that he was all in favour of such a thing. And why wouldn’t he be? The NDP has spent much of the past year just trying to avoid being erased from the national memory bank. Singh’s leadership was widely considered a disappointment. The party could find itself wiped out in Quebec, the Orange Wave little more than a blip in time, Canada’s traditional third-place party possibly pushed into fourth place.
Rather than bad or worse , evidently, is “totally unpredictable.” Singh may assume he’d be an important part of a coalition, yet that’s far from certain. NDP prospects have risen since he performed well in the English-language debate, but Bloc fortunes have surged as well. Seat projections on the polling analysis website 338.com on Monday had the Bloc and NDP battling for third, though a tie would likely favour the Bloc, given its concentration of seats in Quebec.
This is all entirely speculative, and no one can be sure how the dice might turn up once rolled. Which is entirely the point: coalition governments are a study in unpredictability. It depends on which backroom arrangements can be made, which party is prepared to abandon which principles, how many promises need be sacrificed to ensure a seat at the big table.
If hes reelected it will bring more division within this country & right about one thing he will bring coalitions but I think they will involve Quebec & west wanting out
Canada doesn't want coalitions It wants responsible government
This possible coalition would basically be an anti-Alberta, anti business coalition of libs, dippers and maybe a greenie for good measure.
I am very pessimistic about this country's future thanks to the gross mismanagement of the Trudeau government.
Did you have to show that face? I just ate.
His transcript is zero no one trust him
