We are indeed on thin ice, and your revelations about the electoral system are sound. Although I’m not hot-to-trot about the Liberal party, their tendency to favour “business and corporations” sometimes results in a better outcome simply because of their humanist streak IMO - whatever quantity it represents within their part & voter base is often enough. The healthcare system is best representative of this, as I’ve seen/heard several times their assertion that cuts to it produce worse (and more expensive) outcomes down the road. In a kind of fortuitous way, their determined efforts to manage federal/provincial resources without stripping out the floor in budget cuts winds up producing a much more personally manageable situation for the electorate by furnishing critical public services unheard of in the United States.
