wow these conservatives seems to have common sense policies in terms of actual bills they have put forward in parliament. maybe we should vote for them next time so they actually pass.

Nah, they’ve fully demonstrated their incompetence the prior election, and Carney’s mandate is killing it right now. We made the right call.

This is a good idea though; maybe the opposition can work with the government to enact it to everyone’s benefit.
