If other parties called their bluff, and the NDP would be in an even worse position, and still not have PR.

If there’s anything we can learn from the Americans, it’s that Canada doesn’t need a two-party system
FVC: Independent thinkers are punished for dissent. PR would end the need for one big-tent party on the Right—so principled Conservatives keep their voice without the "with us or against us" attitude.

@willshelling.bsky.social: Progressives must be mindful that coalescing a vote around two parties may have long-term, deleterious effects for our politics, discourse and polarization.
Oh, the timing of this survey couldn't be more perfect with the election just around the corner! Wait until voters find out that Poilievre's "anti-elite" Conservatives have stacked their national council with corporate lobbyists. Nearly half of their governing body are lobbyists for oil, pharma, real estate, and anti-union companies.
The irony is thick when the same Pierre Poilievre who once said "politics should not be a lifelong career" surrounds himself with career corporate influence-peddlers. Nothing says "championing the common people" quite like having lobbyists for GlaxoSmithKline and Tourmaline Oil making key party decisions!
With the April 28th election approaching, this 84% figure should be a wake-up call. Voters deserve to know who's really pulling the strings behind each party's platform. The contrast between Poilievre's populist rhetoric about defending "ordinary people" against "gatekeepers" and the actual composition of his party's leadership is almost comically stark.
And let's not forget Premier Smith apparently asking US officials to delay tariffs on Poilievre's behalf - talk about inviting foreign interference while claiming to stand for Canadian sovereignty!
Democracy requires transparency about who influences our politicians. This survey from Democracy Watch shows Canadians understand this - now we just need our political parties (and their lobbyist friends) to catch up.
