What it ultimately did is give Trudeau another 2 years

Posted by Reagen Sep 22 '21, 18:22

there'd have been another election in 6 months to a year, regardless (the people bitching that it should have waited until the 4 year mark are dewy-eyed fawns politically - minorities never go the full term), but now he's solid until at least mid 2023, maybe 2024.

Responses:

From the outside looking in, it's just like Newsom. He's stronger than he was three months again because of this vote. -- nm - No Longer Calm David Sep 22, 18:54 4
- Newsom had the vote thrust upon in without his choice. Trudeau called for this vote in an attempted show of strength. - ty97 Sep 22, 18:56 3
  - Both were votes, and both were winners. - No Longer Calm David Sep 22, 19:01 2
    - Newsom was a colossal landslide. Trudeau just barely eked out the win, and it wasn't even a majority. He clung to power. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 19:21 1
      - But if the conservatives send us to the polls again, it will be a huge black mark on them. - Beryllium Sep 22, 19:23
He’s weaker for it. Second election in a row where the Tories got more votes. Liberals will internally start causing more caucus headaches. - Name Withheld By Request Sep 22, 18:52 2
- On this front my Alberta conservative friends are going on about how we need voting reform without realising pretty much any way you'd do it benefits - mafic Sep 22, 19:09 1
  - Maybe. I’m not convinced that a true PR doesn’t splinter conservatives into three or four groups that all grow in the aggregate. Then coalitions. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 22, 19:41
Gets past the pandemic -- nm - budice Sep 22, 18:31 2
- oh you optimistic fool -- nm - ty97 Sep 22, 18:32 1
  - "You sweet march2020 child" -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 18:34
Except that he doesn't have the bargaining power of calling an election of he's not getting what he wants. - zork Sep 22, 18:26 7
- They'd look like hypocritical idiots, but I'm not sure that matters. -- nm - Reagen Sep 22, 18:29 1
  - Exactly. "Trudeau is getting extra time for his calling an election during the pandemic" -- nm - zork Sep 22, 18:32
- considering how their hammer this entire campaign was an unneeded election call they would regret that lamost immediately -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 18:29 4
  - Except a year matters during a pandemic. How is that not intuitive? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 22, 18:52 1
    - right hopefully we are out of it and jobs everywhere and spending everywhere and people love it...the extra time should help with this -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 03:43
  - Not with their base. And a large pool of voters outside of that are goldfish. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 18:33 1
    - (It sounds like this contradicts what I just said about the black mark, but trust me, both are true) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 19:24
and will get the $10 a day child care everywhere eventually which will be his legacy i think -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 18:24 9
- It'll cost me more than that to commute when I have to go back to the office -- nm - zork Sep 22, 18:34 7
  - I...don't know what this means -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 18:36 6
    - People will get their kids looked after for $10 for a whole day and it'll cost me at least $12 to take transit that same day. -- nm - zork Sep 22, 18:39 5
      - in January next year they're eliminating all but two of the transit zones here. basically gonna be inner city and everything else. - mafic Sep 22, 18:54 1
        
        Nice -- nm - zork Sep 22, 20:37
      - As in, I think it should cost less to ride on transit -- nm - zork Sep 22, 18:40 2
        
        ahh gotcha, no argument here. Hopefully new money for public transit will be part of the climate change money they will be spending -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 03:42
        
        YES. Transit should be extremely tempting for car owners. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 18:47
- just NB Alberta and Ontario to go I do believe (and Higgs sounds almost on board0 -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 18:32
