I know nearly nothing about Canadian politics. Are liberals really better than conservatives? (fedia.io)

It's great that Pierre lost and he probably lost to someone better, but were there better candidates for the common people on the ballot? How are liberals as a whole for Canada? Would another party have been better - greens for example?

I've seen a community about better vote counting system, so it seems Canada is still a first past the post country?

Yeah. They're both establishment/status quo parties, that aren't going to address root causes of problems. The Liberals may make minor improvements, but it's still the path to oligarchy and climate crisis.

The Liberals are definitely better than the Conservatives, but only by degrees.
