    Indeed. We dodged the bullet but we’re still sliding downhill. The time for conservatives is coming, unfortunately. I just hope that the next time the pendulum swings back, we get some electoral reform done and more modern and sturdy guardrails to soften the next round.

    Still, I daydream myself into hope and into action. No one knows what’s coming long term, so I imagine progress. That’s the only way I can function instead of growing apathetic out of despair. Next cycle I’ll be here once more, campaigning ABC.

      Electoral reform is one of very few things – possibly the only thing – that could actually avert this otherwise inevitable result. If Carney delivers on housing and pulls an economic miracle out of the hat I’ve never seen him wearing, we’ll maybe defer payment for another election cycle, maybe two.

      We probably don’t have that long to stop systematically pitting left and center against each other, paving the way for a worse outcome that represents fewer Canadians than ever before.
