Correct. What's not right is your understanding of the Canadian parliamentary system. Maybe if you keep repeating your inaccuracy enough, more division will he soen in Canada. That's not your goal, is it?

Which is why Canadians are in favor of getting rid of the first past the post system. The Trudeau government failed in their previous campaign promise on that. Now with a minority government, there is more likely for electoral reform, due to Trudeau's government being required to work with opposition parties. This gives the opposition parties leverage to meet the wishes of the people.
Which, is a positive of a minority government.

From what I understand, minority governments in Canada usually only last a couple of years, so Trudeau should be out by the middle of President Trump’s second term.

From your understanding, how many times was the PM changed after the collapse of a minority government in Canada, and how many times did the PM remain the same after the next election?

Note that the question is a trap. The answer invalidates the conclusion he came to in his post, so it’s extremely unlikely we’ll get a reply.

Trudeau has only about 46% approval but the voters gave him a second term.
But that's understandable being as how Andrew Scheer has like 27% approval.

Trudeau got 51.2% of the vote.

Woke n toke. Canada.

I guarantee a lot did, due to Canada not having a ridiculous prohibition on a plant used by humanity so long that our brains have literally developed receptors specifically for that plant.
Fortunately, the people that do wake and bake in Canada after the election don't face jail and public shaming for ingesting a plant.
Of course, there are still many people in the world holding onto the entirely discredited opinion that there is something wrong with it.
Instead the push for illegalization, creating an environment where the black market thrives.
Yeah, like that makes sense.
But hey, we can try to degrade Canada with silly little sayings like "woke n toke Canada", can't we!

No he doesn't - it's a minority government that is required to work with the opposition. Come on, we're not talking a Russia like situation here where Trudeau has absolute oligarchical power in the form of a dictatorship. He's not Putin, he's the leader of one of the least corrupt nations on the planet.
Well no, thanks to the voters that chose him, even knowing those connections, and even knowing that the alternatives were definitely not there through nepotism. It's not like we're talking Russia here, where the actual votes don't matter, since the system is corrupt to the core.
Poor Russians. Lucky Canadians.

Just like Britain and the US. Old, uneducated conservatives who are going to *** soon keep voting against progress.
