    With another country threatening to annex us, this is about the last thing I feel we should be focusing on. Won’t do much fucking good if we don’t have a country.

      I’m not sure what you mean by not having a country.

      Also, the government doesn’t have a singular function. It can work on the threat from the south, and have people look into what needs to be done for electoral reform and even execute it, all while the PM does squats.

      What we need is a quick move to come up with a plan to handle an unstable US for the long term. Such a plan may include improving Canada’s own security, and reform our electoral system to prevent demagoguery from the US from taking hold of our government. If the CPC’s earlier lead in the polls is not a red flag for it happening, idk what else is. Far-right, anlt-right, and maga-like rhetoric is here in Canada, and is influenced not just by the Russians and Chinese, but also the USA.

      1. Please refrain from using curse words, it distracts from the substance of your comment.
      2. The government is able to focus on multiple priorities at the same time. While threats of another country annexing us are high priority, it doesn’t help us that the democratic legitimacy of our government aren’t as strong as they could be.
      3. And how would proportional representation cause us to not have a country? I would say that a minority governing on behalf of the majority, like it is now under FPTP, is ripping the fabric of our country apart.
