Ed Hollett you are 100% right. An alternate party, that clearly stands for things, is exactly what the province needs. Libs and PCs now are Tweedle Dee or Tweedle Dumb. Exactly the same thing. In the US this scenario would be called a Uniparty, where the two sides represent the same thing.
As one HUGE example. Where do they stand on the mounting debt being passed down to everyone's children and grandchildren? A very basic question. The Libs are spending like Drunken Sailors every time I turn on the news. And yet Tony's crowd arent sayin a damn thing about the spending. This PC crowd are conservative in name only.
I expect when paving season starts this summer, everyone will get pavement right into their toilets.
Not the first time someone has suggested it in the past decade.
I highlighted Quebec for a reason because there was a very significant change in provincial politics about a decade ago and now we are looking at a re-ordering of the landscape again.
If an election were held today, the PQ would gain a clear majority with the CAQ and Liberals fighting over official opposition. https://338canada.com/quebec/
Last night I attended a discussion at the Harris Centre , ostensibly about Globalization. One young questioner spoke briefly about neocolonialism. I wanted to borrow Janis Joplin’s line and say, It’s all the same fu**ing colonialism man.
Overall the lack of Commies, socialists, anarchists and other radicals was noticeable, although there were a couple of young women wearing keffiyehs as shawls against the air conditioning
Another pet peeve of mine was the use of ‘social‘ or ‘economic’ modifying the word ‘development’. Perhaps it is time to drop ‘development’ in favour if ‘improvement’ or ‘growth’ or ‘enlightenment’; either way we still aren’t getting it right.

Sorry I missed that event but that sounds like the sort of conversation I'd expect judging by from the topic and the venue.
You probably already know my views on colonialism as that person probably meant it so perhaps it's just as well I wasn't there.
