It's majority or nothing.
A Conservative minority government won't be able to repeal any legislation from the last 6 years.
Also, if it ends up like this with more or less the same seat breakdown, what will O'Toole do? He will be a lame duck prime minister. The BQ won't give them a single vote unless O'Toole promises to not touch equalization payments. They will even demand more money. This will fuck off Alberta and Saskatchewan even more. Or govern with the NDP, with a terror sympathizer in the back who threatens to blow up the partnership every other week?
We will see the Libs introducing legislation while the NDP and Bloc vote with them, bypassing the Conservative minority and making them look like fools.
Yep, if it's not a MajoraTory then we'll get more of the same. If it's a minority parliament with the Libs in the lead we get fucked up the ass with lube, NDP, without.
If that turban gets elected I'm done.
Hey even if it's a close Lib minority Juggedmeat will still (try to) hold his kirpan to Justin's throat. (Not that he'll need much persuading to go commie.)
NDP and LPC won't have the funds to do another election any time soon. A CPC minority will have 2 years where they can act like a majority and the LPC and NDP will simply not have all members vote on bills allowing them to pass. If the LPC loses this election they will have some pretty hefty internal issues to contend with along with a near empty war chest so they will want a leadership convention before triggering an election.
Effectively its a 2 year majority government no matter which party wins the minority.
Are you nuts? Joe Clark won a minority against Daddy Turdeau, and he was gone in less than a year. If they have any chance to stop it the commies will never allow a Tory government, it's a majority or more of the same.
I'm not disagreeing with your example on Joe Clark (met this guy a couple of times just walking around Toronto really nice guy) however elections simply didn't cost or have the funding nastiness back then. I think the better example is Stephen Harper 2006-2008 and 2008 - 2011. In both cases we see the LPC/NDP effectively forced to do exactly what I described.
This is not true. The Conservatives, the Libs and the NDP have no debt. They paid it off. And while the Conservatives take in far more in donations than the Libs and even more than the NDP, they also spend far more than the Libs. And in 2015 and 2019 the Libs won the election while spending half as much as the Conservatives. Spending more money doesn't win you elections. There are enough people or banks willing enough to give the Libs or the NDP money.
NDP took Soros money.
True and thus we have an election. The LPC wouldn't have suggested an election if this weren't the case.
Not right after the election, it takes a couple of years. hell in the first 6 months most haven't even solved all of their riding association tax filings. It might not be spending that wins an election but it still takes significant money and resources to compete.
The CPC in the case of a minority will be limited but they won't be entirely hung out to dry for the first year and a bit. They will have some flexibility while others needs to regroup and rebuild
With every non -white Canadian our governmental structure will turned into a case by clusterfuck of African politics shit will be smeared on the floors of parliament
