That's making a lot of assumptions which I don't think are accurate. We know strategic voting is a thing. While I don't think we have numbers of how many vote strategically, I think it's safe to say most of them went to the Liberals given their advantage in the pre-election polls.

I'm not saying that the Liberals would have some poorly in RCV, but we can't just assume everyone's vote was also their first choice. And then we'd also have to get into how a different system would change the campaign, etc.

Canada didn't really reject the right. The Conservatives got 41.3% of the vote, which is at almost historic highs, and without any other context politics watchers would expect that to net them a majority government. However, almost all the other voters coalesced around one other party.

I think they'll have the next election (the 2026 mid-term) but I'm less sure about the election after that...

Although it’s not available for the most serious violent offences — such as murder, sexual assault or aggravated assault — it can be used for lesser crimes.

While this program isn't set up for serious offences, restorative justice can be brought to these situations too. It's usually less of an "alternative justice" and more of a parallel to our punitive justice system to but can bring healing to both victims and perpetrators.

As a white, cis, hetero, Christian male, I don't know even know if I'd be willing to go to the states! Maybe if it was for work, but even then I'd probably push back.

I see a possible scenario where I cross the border for a day trip (go to a show, a game, or even just dinner), and can't leave. I know it's not very likely, especially given my privileged, but if that situation came to pass, that would be hugely disruptive. Before 2025, I'd say that scenario is almost impossible, as Canadians could even get home after 9-11.
