The problem is that we have two right-wing parties in control of the country. The far-right Conservatives and the right-of-centre Carney Liberals.
The NDP is moribund, Elizabeth May has destroyed the Greens, and common sense is a rare commodity.

Or three fourth-line centre and a middle-six forward who falls down a lot.
