We’ve done it, we got rid of another soulless right wing politician!
Peter Dutton first made his party lose this election and now also lost his own seat much like Pierre Pullover
We’ve still got a government that green-lit new coal power plants in it’s last term, screwed over the Aboriginal community with a poorly run referendum, and still doesn’t give a shit about climate change, but baby steps hey.
In fairness, winning by like 2.4% in Canada is hardly “booting” anyone to the curb, in a country which does not have a blatant binary on their political processes, like the USA, or Australia.
Yes. Canada should celebrate but know that it is not out of the woods yet. We need a real progressive alternative and we need to stop the momentum of the far-right cult. Right now we have neither; we have just seen off the most immediate threat.
