Look, I'm not disagreeing with you about any of that. But if you're going to say Canadian politics are weird (which is the actual point I was addressing), you need to look at it in context of the other nations. I stand by my contention that we're boring and not-weird compared to what I see every day in the U.S., the U.K., most of Europe, Russia and the former soviet states, China (!), most of Asia, the middle East, South America... I mean I struggle to think of too many countries with politics less weird and more boring than Canada. The closest that comes to mind might be Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands... the nordic countries I suppose. I'd joke that it must be the cold that does it, but then we would have all of Russian history (and present news) to contend with. Coincidentally, I happened to hear an ad for a podcast here in Canada called... Canadian Politics Is Boring: https://www.canadianpoliticsisboring.com/ https://www.canadianpoliticsisboring.com/ So it's not like this is an isolated opinion.
