    The problem is we probably need one of them? Their economies are massive and America’s by far the biggest. Unless we want our economy to shrink. Like it or not they are the two biggest fish in the pond.

      So we strengthen our connections with Europe, then, and ourselves. Yes, it will be harder than just flip-flopping between two bad options but that is literally the point I’m trying to make.

      Look at our current setup: The Conservatives are garbage and the only good things the Liberals seem to do are things that the coalition with the NDP forced them to do. The NDP, however, is treated like they’re a non-starter option because they have fewer seats even though they got more than half of the Liberal or Conservative votes even with strategic voting being a thing. The Bloc got more seats while having slightly more than half the NDP votes.

      We just keep bouncing between terrible options like stupid little reactionaries because it feels easier than doing anything that will genuinely help us.
