Canada to experience “leopards ate my face” if he wins.
It might make the Liberals finally take the housing crisis seriously?
That’s all I can hope for.
I hear that, but I’m a left leaning Canadian whose face has been getting eaten by the left since they’ve taken power, so I’m getting to the point where I don’t care who is in charge, I’m poor and I’m already getting fucked by the leftists, so getting fucked by the right can’t be that much worse.
I mean, they’re liberals and inside the Canadian Liberal movement along with more centrist elements are left liberals such as social liberals or progressive liberals or even the odd social democrat ( although most of those in Canada are New Democrats). On the whole, Canadian Liberalism is more left of centre than classic liberalism, neo-liberalism or right liberalism. At least, in my estimation.
by the left since they’ve taken power
When and where did they take power? Because they’ve never made government nationally in Canada, and provincially there hasn’t been a leftist government since the NDP functionally abandoned democratic socialism in the 90s.
Layton really moved on the party on that front. Which was gd depressing to watch. 😕
The liberal party that has been in power is best described as neoliberal, which is a typically right leaning ideology. Their version of it is more centerist. Regardless, calling them “leftist” is factually incorrect.
Conservatives will always make things worse. They don’t serve us, they serve themselves and whoever will make them the most money. Everything you’re frustrated by from the liberals will get far worse with them in power.
The only party currently offering solutions is the NDP. Their housing plans involve policies that have been tried and tested in studies and in practice, they have a real plan for dealing with the climate crisis, and they’re the only ones who will make electoral reform happen, which would end the liberal-conservative feedback loop we’re stuck in.
If you think you’re life will get any better under the Conservatives you’re lying to yourself. Ontario is a representation of what is to come, their “solutions” will be nothing more than poor choices that will do more damage than good to the average person and will enrich their friends.
You can bitch about the federal liberals all you want but the fact of the matter is housing, healthcare, transportation are all handled by the province and those are failing due to decades of Conservative leadership. BC finally got rid of our Conservative party in 2017 and things have slowly gotten better, still not great but I guarantee better than if we stayed with the cons; at least our current premier is actually trying to make real change to legislation and policy to move the province out of the 1900s.
As a 32 year old with tens of thousands in school debt living with my parents who can’t afford to move out despite making a decent income, I understand feeling like things aren’t going to get better, but I guarantee voting for the party that has been sucking corporate dick and spitting in the face of the middle and lower classes in the open for decades isn’t going to make things better for me, or you, or anyone in this country who actually needs the help.
Waiting for all you fools to catch on that the politicians calling themselves leftists are very very rarely that
Squinty McProudBoy or trump lite as he is also known, was part of the harper government that saddled Canada with a horrible 31 year trade deal which was signed in secret in China without any debate in parliament. He offers nothing that Canada needs or wants. He also has created a “base” of racists, anti-vaxxers, proud boys, white supremacists, fascists, misogynists and nazis. If you like privatized health care and donald trump, PP is your guy.
JT did legalize pot. But if they want to send the cpc back to the dark ages, get rid of FPTP.
