    This is all good stuff.

    But the problem is that he already had 2 years left of a majority government and didn’t do any of these things. He has put himself in a position where everything he promises is him just saying “I could’ve already done this but chose not to.”

      BC NDP promises proportional representation and the federal portion does too but then David Eby and his elite mlas sabotage every opportunity for electoral reform. He’s a more well spoken Justin Trudeau sadly.
