We’ve done it, we got rid of another soulless right wing politician!

Peter Dutton first made his party lose this election and now also lost his own seat much like Pierre Pullover

We’ve still got a government that green-lit new coal power plants in it’s last term, screwed over the Aboriginal community with a poorly run referendum, and still doesn’t give a shit about climate change, but baby steps hey.

      Welcome to Canadian Parliamentary politics, where every good step forward has an equal and opposite step backwards.

      While I still prefer it to the alternative system to the south; where it’s all bad steps. I’d be lying if I said our own system was perfect by any means.

      Carney could deny the by-election or at least delay it, but that’d cause conservative tears so he’s avoiding the drama.
