I dislike this sentiment. The majority voted for this, but the minority didn't, and most of the time, it's the imposed-upon minority that are getting the shaft of these policies, from the imposing majority.
Funny enough, Trudeau didn't get a majority or even the most votes in Canada's last election - the Conservatives actually came in first place popular-vote-wise, nabbing something like 200k more votes.
But try telling that to anyone who supposedly wants a switch away from the Electoral College/FPTP, in America or Canada, and most likely they'll just have a brain BSOD before changing the subject. Getting an actual answer out of them is even harder.
Canadians getting what they voted for. No sympathy here.

That's something I was hoping Trudeau would fix. Instead he gave up because "it's complicated". Thanks Trudeau.
