That doesn’t explain your opinion at all.

That’s what I thought, but I wasn’t 100% certain. My girlfriend was asking. She’s a French immigrant who’s been a citizen since fairly recently and she was wondering.

How so?

Watch the conservatives try to stop him every step of the way.

What happens when a party leader doesn’t get elected in their riding but their party wins the majority?

This belongs in /c/ehbuddyhoser lol

I feel sad for the guy because he really did care and worked hard. He was a good dude.

They’ve adopted the republicans’ scummy ways since Harper. And it intensified during this election. We had social media influence to thank as well.

If it’s a minority government, the conservatives are going to be the opposition and they’re going to block everything.

They might still have to make a coalition with the NDP but most importantly, the Bloc québécois.

You know Trudeau isn’t in charge anymore, right?

it’s all about rage-farming, which is what right-wing politics has become

Oh abseolutely!

My best guess would be social media and how they facilitate and enable the spread of misinformation and actively block information about certain topics like trans rights, Palestinian genocide, or news that hurt conservative groups. Then there’s the algorithms. You click on one of the toxic posts and you’re done for.

If you go on youtube, you quickly get recommendations like Ben Shapiro, Charlie Kirk, Jordan Peterson or even Andrew Tate.

If younger Canadians spend more time online today than the previous generation, it’s no surprise.

The liberals should become the conservatives, NDP the liberals and the greens could become the left.

American: “Hello there!”

Other “American”: “Hi! How are you?”

American: “Great, and yourself?”

Other “American”: “Good! Great weather we’re having, eh?”

American: “What?”

Other “American”: “What?”

American: *eyes the other “American” suspiciously*

Other “American”: “Aw shit, my cover is blown.” *Stabs American*

The collège des médecins, the authority on how many people can study to become medical doctors, is a god damn bottleneck. They’re in on it. They limit the number of people who can become doctors to keep the demand and wages high.

Bauce… 🤦‍♂️

I think that frustration is largely responsible for the conservative party’s popularity right now. More than any policy they want to pass. That’s scary because that means either people are ignorant about their platform or they’re really enjoy seeing other people suffer.

And I agree with you that the Liberals are fascist enablers.

But at this point, if it’s so tight between the liberals and the conservatives in B.C., and you know either one of these parties could win and the other ones have absolutely no chance of winning, would you push people to dilute the non conservative votes across the other parties instead of voting for the one that can defeat the cons?

In my riding, the liberal candidate is projected to win, followed far behind by the bloc québécois candidate and the NDP candidate. So I’m not worried. I voted NDP just for the stats at this point, to show they have support here. It won’t make a difference.

But in many ridings in B.C., it might.

I think here their best bet is to vote liberal to defeat the conservatives. It’s really not ideal but with this voting system, it’s the best way to ward off fascism in Canada.
