Aaaah OK. So as soon as a candidate gets X number of votes, they have s seat? So in a riding, there could be more than one MP?

How would proportional representation change this?
A single vote does “matter” and should “matter” in a case like this where we’re split equally between two candidates. The last vote to make/break a tie is very important.
We’re talking of a riding here where the votes would have been exactly 50/50 for the top 2 representatives and would have triggered a by-election. Of course it matters!
A single vote can matter, no matter the system.
Wait, what do you mean? How did you interpret my comment? I feel like there’s a misunderstanding here.
Probably the post/comment he replied to that upset him.
Yeah, when most of your masters and PhD students are foreigners with a student visa, it’s quite a risk for them to travel to the U.S.
How are we supposed to encourage Canadian companies during this trade war when they keep screwing the Canadian population over so much? Man fuck Bell, Rogers, Telus, Loblaws, Metro and every other big ass Canadian corporation. They’re all worth being boycotted if we could help it.
Bla bla bla.
Canadians need high speed internet services, too. Bell, Telus and Rogers are already gouging Canadians with insane prices. But it’s still not enough? Fuck all that.
In Québec, there used to be several electric utility companies in different regions of the province. They kept charging too much for crappy unreliable electricity because they didn’t want to invest in their shitty infrastructure to deliver electricity to their customers. They also didn’t want to build infrastructures in further regions because it would cost them too much. Remind you of anyone?
Well, René Levesque, as the premier of Québec, made the province buy all the companies and nationalized them under one company: Hydro Québec. Since then, the infrastructure was expanded so the furthest regions of Québec. More dams were built. It became the pride of Québec and a great source of revenue for the province.
As it turns out, nationalizing important utility infrastructures is beneficial to the population, but trying to benefit shareholders is bad for the population.
Huh… Urquhart. Like the castle ruins by the Loch Ness in Scotland.
Dunno. We’ll see.
I know Alexandre Boulerice might throw his name in for the position.
I feel targeted. I commented somewhere last week saying someone should use OpenOffice when I meant LibreOffice.
It’s just old reflexes.
No you can join anytime to become a card carrying member.
Fuck it. I just became a member of the NDP so I could vote on their next leader.
If you want to do the same, here’s the link. It’s minimum 10$/year.
Isn’t that the point of Korea asking us for equipment contracts?
You’re talking about Carney, who can’t even admit that there’s a genocide going on.
