Parlamentsabgeordnete haben die Kanadier „desillusioniert“: NDP-Chef Avi Lewis

its absolutely crazy watching carney take all these conservatives and get them to agree to the liberal agenda while everybody is insisting he is a conservative moving canada to the right

meanwhile the only thing ‚conservative‘ he is doing is cutting the spending of money we literally dont have

that being said – while i dont necessarily agree with avi i think this is exactly the sort of feedback the NDP should be giving

Though I am not a PP or CPC fan, I understand and agree with Lewis to a degree. Are MPs crossing because they hate PP? Hate the CPC? Frustrated with the NDP? Like what the LPC is doing? Want to be on a ‚winning‘ team?

Crossing MPs are absolutely across the political spectrum (NDP to hard right-wing CPC members). Who’s next, PQ?

Well no shit. At least Trump got a clear mandate. Though I was hoping Nikki Haley would get the nomination so the republicans could have the first woman president and the democrats might go back to picking likeable candidates. The first women prime ministers in Canada and UK were both tories.

But this is the first time in this country where a government is buying a majority they couldn’t get at the ballots with backroom deals. In a country where elections are already mostly decided in the east before counting has started in the west. I’m at a loss to think of anything that we actually do better here.

Kind of rich to be hearing that the NDP is discussing the disillusionment of Canadians. The previous party leadership really let us all down, which was reflected at the polls.

I mean, that NDP conference has me starting to shift a little more right than I was before.

The floor crossing is just proving that politicians are out for themselves and not their constituents.

Just wait until candidates run for the party most likely to win, then cross immediately.

I’m a usual Liberal voter. This needs to be decided with a by-election.

The floor crossing that we see going on just shows how greedy and selfish politicians are; they want to be on the team that has power. And people can deny all they want, but there is some major wheeling and dealing going on; our current PM works in the shadows and secrecy and doesn’t care about ethics, just power, and he is building a majority stacked with like-minded dangerous clowns.

Canada is in a lot of trouble.

People will continue to fully support this government no matter how less affordable and how cut off from the government that represents us gets. It’s easier to pretend to believe the banker and his friends are going to help the country; the alternative is admitting they themselves are just ignorant and have not a clue.

I think this should trigger a by election immediately.

But at the same time, conservatives complaining about this need to look in the mirror. Your movement and your party are falling apart because a healthy chunk of you decided to worship the orange pedophile down south and tried to import that style of politics here to Canada and Canadians were never gonna have it. Clean up your act and pull your heads out of your asses or you will never win again

Canada:
Gov. Monopoly on weed, liquor, housing and car insurance and now the gov. Unelected.
A few banks, a few telecoms, one grocery store.

Not a communist country? 

I’m definitely disillusioned with the Liberal party. If they actually stood for the center-left or even centrist values they regularly market themselves on, they would be telling Marilyn Gladue exactly where she could stuff her conversion therapy and abortion restrictions. Instead they welcomed her. It’s clear that if you are not a social conservative, only one party can be trusted to keep the social conservatism out, and it’s the NDP.

Floor crossing limits the power a party and party leadership have over MPs and it’s basically for that reason alone I support it. Are we learning any real lessons from the south?

Let’s be honest Marilyn crossing the floor and being accepted by the Liberals disillusioned Canadians on floor crossing….
