   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!!!    
      
    AT> This reminds me of how NY has 2 (supposedly) right-wing parties: We have   
    AT> the NY GOP and the NY Conservative party. Sounds like we'd have a lot of   
    AT> great minds working together to help the state. right? Hell no. Both   
    AT> parties are corrupt, neither party produces good candidates, and neither   
    AT> party answers emails nor phonecalls. (See the pattern?)   
    AT>    
    AT> Do they have that in Florida? (My guess is no!)   
    AT>    
      
   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!!!
