@nikiashton 1. ICYMI Niki, it was the NDP that counter proposed how the electoral reform committee should be formed (under the pretense of protecting Canadians from Liberals using their majority to impose a system), and the PM accepted it.

He gave you your way.

@nikiashton 2. Then, once you got your way, the NDP behaved on the Committee in the exact same way they said the Liberals would. It thought ONLY of what was in its own partisan best interest.

So, he gave you your way, and you did nothing with that advantage.

@nikiashton 3. If you were being honest, you'd admit electoral reform got dropped not because of anything the PM did, but rather due to your party's inability to come to an agreement with Conservatives on what kind of reform to put in place.

So you got your way, then squandered it.

@nikiashton 4. Perhaps if you had trusted the process the PM first suggested, there would be reform today... but your party was more interested in securing an immediate advantage rather than playing the long game and nothing got done.

So you got your way, then took your eye off the ball.

@nikiashton 5. Ultimate irony: The minute the PM performed the mercy killing, your party complained that he did NOT use his majority to impose a system (the very behaviour about which you warned Cdns to win a change to the committee structure).

So no. You're not getting your way this time.

Someone asked that this be unrolled, so I figured I'd provide it, just in case it could be useful.
