This is very true. Traditional archeology was very top down, all about who ruled where when. Modern archeology is lot more about finding out what everyday life was like for regular people. Experimental archeology has really taken off in the last 20 years, people living long stretches in strictly period lives.
These folks do a great job of creating accessible documentary series’ of their experiences living period lives for long periods. Here they visit an entire castle being made with medieval methods by archeologists living medieval lives: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL72jhKwankOiwI5zt6lC3eQtsQDxOaN_g&si=ZNevj_CuevNrMwNr

The electoral reform lie was especially heinous. It’s not your average political lie, it was THE central pillar of his campaign. It had massive support from liberals and progressives and was why they swept up so handily that election. Comparing that to silly small campaign promises is disingenuous.

They promised to end poverty for those with disabilities with Bill C-22. They switched out the actually disabled MP as head of the ministry with some suit and this new benefit isn’t even a fifth of what’s needed and reaches only half of those who need it. They say it’s just the foundations to build on, but they’ll be handing the reigns of this benefit to the conservatives soon enough who are certainly not going to improve it (despite unanimously voting for it).
Trudeau was initially elected on the promise of electoral reform. Campaign from the left, govern from the right is the Liberal MO. Their promises are meaningless marketing.
“Nice dick”
It’s certainly an essential piece of the puzzle, but without the other puzzle pieces it is only going to have a minimal effect and is easy to abuse. Better than nothing nothing though, it won’t be a wasted effort if it passes, it just won’t fix anything or curb rent prices on the whole. But it will help people out here and there.
