(and no I'm advocating for or suggesting violent change, I'm talking about democratic change)

I think you're missing a "not" in there.

Yeah initially Trudeau presented himself as willing to make those changes. But he/the Liberals was/were/is/are obviously too connected/beholden to entrenched power to get electoral reform. Maybe people thought because he was new to politics he would be more independent?

Thanks for that ... I made the edit.

I find that whenever one offers a political critique, one has to include the explicit explanation they don't advocate for violence or insurrection.

If more people ... or everyone for that matter ... just became more organized and voted out the people that are holding up this system ... we'd actually be able to institute change.
