What is the purpose of the Official Opposition in a Parliamentary system? You don’t need a degree in political science to know that the job is to “oppose” the government.
That’s it. That’s the job. Oppose the government, hold them in check, and in the case of our federal Conservative opposition party, stop the Liberal government from pushing the country ever-further to the Left.
We do not have an “opposition” in Canadian federal politics, we have 3 varieties of the same moldy cheese.
