The federal New Democrats plan to make pharmacare a central issue in the next election if the Liberals do not meet the bar the opposition party has set for legislation to reduce the cost of prescription drugs.

    Probably won’t win, but Liberals probably won’t either. Hopefully Liberals agree to the terms.

      We can all hope for continued minority governments. Canada loses whenever a single party wins a majority.

        Couldn’t agree more.

        One of the reasons I’d like to see election reform is so that we never have a majority again. Would be nice to see some cooperation instead of unilateral decision making because someone got 51% support.

        Man if only we had a proportional system…

        Yeah, as much as I support the current government, I’m still butthurt about that whole u-turn. Like, highly proportional places have issues too, but we’d have a blank slate to try and address those issues, and it’s unlikely we’re going to become the Netherlands until a decade or two has passed to get there.
