In Canada if the Party in power is a minority... I tried to look it up but I
gave up... there minority seating arrangement  is only by a couple seats. 

The party in power usually work with others to pass legislation.  These
minority governments don't usually last long... 18 months or so... before an
other election is called.

Justin Trudeau's last term was a minority government and he was able to do
what he wanted because he had talked the NDP (The AOC Party) to help him out. 
The leader of that party wanted his pension (MTG Style) so he went along.
After he was eligible for his pension they called an election.

In comes Carney.  

To be honest if Trump didn't bust Trudeau's balls over the 51 State thing the
Conservatives would have won... There are a lot of Rosie O'Donnell(s) and
Robert De Niro(s) in Canada.  I LOLd but I knew the left would be running
around with their hair on fire.

Now we have Mark Carney for a few months more... Pray for Canada!!!

Canada and the US are no different in that there is a political spectrum that
people are in.  In the US, for the most part, there is a 2 party system.  Each
party have their center majority and then their more fringe AOC/MTG.  All are
suppose to get along and work together for the end goal of insider trading or
whatever it is they do.

Canada has several parties Far left (NDP) center left Liberal (This is a LIE)
center right Conservative far right Wild Rose Party. <--- This party doesn't
exist any more.

Your State has a problem if there are 2 conservative parties.  It splits the
vote and the Democrats walk into power every time there is an election.

Florida there are just 2 parties. Most Florida is Red, larger city centers
Blue.  There was a time where Florida was considered a swing state... But
since Trump's election and Ron DeSantis being Governor Florida will not be
swinging anywhere for awhile.

I prefer the US's style, it is what it is, but the politics as of late sucks
with the left hating everything and everyone...

Anyway.  Go RED Team if you're in the US, Go BLUE if you're in Canada!!!
