If you assume liberals operate on honesty and ethics. If after ten years of Trudeau you still think so then… uh… yeah.

Eh, the world has a way of producing people like that when there’s a niche for them (read: ignorant, bigoted and above all struggling people for them to exploit).

Bruh he said that in 20 fucking 24. That takes guts.

Okay that was funny.

After PP’s horrible showing post-Trump (and dozens of polls)? Yeah. Canada is the Western country with the best odds of remaining a democracy in 20 years, followed not so closely by Eastern Europe and Australia.

I mean duh? Did anyone think otherwise?

Wasn’t he gunning for a presidential run I think?

I mean Ron DeSantis also tanked his chances by being an evil piece of shit (which Trump also is so I’m not sure why only one worked) so the comparison tracks.

Okay how about: Build houses without worrying about property values. Capitalism should have absolutely nothing to do with housing.

Or you can… Build more houses. It’s not that complicated.

Okay full disclosure I’m not Canadian I’m just here for the political drama, but Canada is trailing behind Europe in terms of peogressiveness no? No proportional representation for one, and until recently no dental healthcare.

Like I don’t agree with every decision they’ve made but it’s also crazy to just view them as incompetent northern Democrats.

I don’t think anyone here, including me, has said that. They do represent the business as usual political establishment so the broad comparison tracks; Canada has issues that will lead to a conservative majority if not addressed and a minority government has a much better chance of addressing those issues in a satisfactory way than a liberal majority government.

Just in case: There are websites that tell you how each party is polling in each riding. If your riding isn’t competitive for conservatives then absolutely don’t vote liberal. If the people who have to will strategically vote liberal, then the people who can must vote their conscience to avoid more lesser evil politics (which just might guarantee a conservative government later on as seen from your neighbors down south).

which makes them a non-candidate for anyone far away from Quebec

I mean they literally don’t run outside of Quebec so that’s probably a non-issue.

Wow 40% increase. That’s bad. It also starts almost exactly from when Trudeau took charge so it looks/is even worse.

Nah they’ll protest. Whether they’ll actually do something (which protesting is not) we’ll have to see.

Maybe but consider: Unrestrained liberal rule will simply lead to a conservative majority later on. The only way to beat fascism is a government that actually works for the people, and a liberal majority isn’t that.

Just to be clear, the bad ending here isn’t a liberal minority; it’s a conservative majority. A minority government of liberals + third parties is the best possibility for a government.

I mean with how hard conservatives are getting trounced (see https://smartvoting.ca/) it seems voting your conscience is viable because a liberal majority is guaranteed anyway.

Okay it makes sense to not want to split the vote, but Jagmeet isn’t Canada’s Stein. He actually has electotal victories under his belt, for one.

Fuck America, but also learn from their mistakes. There’s no reason to believe that in this era of jingoism national security won’t be used to commit all sorts of horrible acts both at home and abroad.
