These are literally people whose job it is to discuss and analyze these things.
The host right now broke down the costs as a yearly salary for 13,000 teachers or 5000 police officers.
Whether it’s my opinion or not, this is what is being said. It wasn’t a failed opportunity for the cons to get a minority, it was a failed grasp by the liberals to get a majority.

Police officers and teachers are paid out of provincial budgets, not federal. So that's a moot point.
Besides as 68 said, anyone can sit on their soapbox and say "it was a waste of time", they're only saying that because nothing changed. The Cons and PC did not convince Canadians to see in their favor, plain and simple.
This wasn't some whatever election either.
We've never experienced anything like COVID before, the decisions made during this pandemic have been
EXTREMELY polarizing and unprecedented. If anything, was a
perfect time to hold an election in order to present a public referendum on how this government has handled the pandemic in itself, the decisions they've made whether good or bad, and to be held accountable for them.
