I love how you continue to believe this problem is exclusive to this government.
What was Harper's main promise in 2006? Lowering GST by 2%.I love how you continue to believe this problem is exclusive to this government.
I disagree Trudeau scrap the idea due to procedural issues.
It was never in his interest
No. Does that mean one can lie if they don't expect to be called on it?I have a general question for everyone. When Trudeau made all of those promises, did he really think that the Liberals would go from third party status to a strong majority?
By the final 4 days, I was expecting a Liberal majority. But Trudeau could hardly say that all the promises that were made up until that point were all lies to fool a gullible electorate.Before election day, I was pretty sure that he might win a slim minority at best, or maybe the CPC would have that minority government.
if you ever believe anything they [Liberals] tell you ever again, on any matter large or small, if you ever trust them to keep their word from this day forward, then you deserve everything you have coming to you.

Sure it was. Tories do better when Liberals and NDP split the vote. AV would have likely benefited the Liberals.
STV would, PR wouldn't. That's also why the CPC is consistently against it because they'd be losers in both.

Correct, not every electoral reform would have benefited the Liberals (as best as anyone can tell), although the Tories would have been the bigger losers under any scenario other than FPTP. However, I was simply responding to the suggestion that it was never in his interest. It could very much have been in the Liberals' interest. But as it increasingly headed towards a nasty gong show, it increasingly became a distraction that simply wasn't worth their effort.
