Tom Mulcair must have been annoyed to hear that Jagmeet Singh still holds power in cabinet

Prime Minister(B) Singh has won the lottery.

The total vote is basically even but 160-120 in seats?? You tell me if there isn't something drastically wrong with the way seats are set up. I could see a 10 or even 20 seat win but 40?

It's not about only two parties: Liberals versus Conservatives... it's progressive versus conservatives and the popular vote showed that Canadians voted more for progressive parties than conservative parties on a whole... thank goodness.

This is an historical opportunity to get the balance right for Climate and Economic progress in Canada. Yes we need a serious Carbon Tax to inspire the transition to new Climate Friendly Energy, but we also need Pipelines. We can`t continue to pretend that shipping Oil by Train is safe while we continue to use gas in our cars. Take a look at the streets of Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. Gasoline engines are prevalent and most can`t yet afford to change. This transition could take 2 decades.
We need to consider the model of Norway where the Government is using money from it`s thriving Oil Industry to pay for the absolutely necessary change to new Energy. We have an opportunity to be as smart as Norway. I hope we see that!
