Conservatives be like: Hey that’s 30% of the population that’s guaranteed to be on our side!
My friend and I discuss this all the time 70% of the population is center left to left. The Liberal NDP split is tough, I don’t want these popularist parties (PPC,New Blue, Maveric) are a cancer but I kinda sometimes wish they gained more traction to split the vote more.
The other three blame extreme weather on gays and “wokeness”.
Hopefully those same people will vote for politicians that are willing to actually do something practical about it.
Agreed, but the Greens are problematic for various reasons, and the NDP is “terrifyingly socialist/communistic” for far too many people, even though it is solidly centrist, and nowhere near left of centre much less leftist in any significant manner.
With all three other major parties either full-derpy alt-right (CPC, PPC) or small-c conservative (Liberals), none of whom would dare negatively impact their big-business, business-as-usual obsessed donors with climate legislation, who else do we have to vote for that can actually implement meaningful progress?
Alberta and Saskatchewan put together is only about 15% of Canada’s population, so I would’ve assumed the number to be closer to 85%
Add a chunk of Manitoba and BC, some wackos in Ontario and Quebec (pretty much the center of the francophone conspiracy world at this point…) and you get 30%!
Deep rural anywhere - the people who keep voting against their (and our) interests.
Not just deep rural. The entire Okanagan Valley - over a third of a million people - is redder than pee-pee’s arse after a good paddling in his S&M dungeon.
This comes from oodles of boomers and older people who have been indoctrinated on the “communist menace” of the 50s and 60s, and who think that anything not conservative is evil.
We also have a fairly decent white supremacist population, and the largest chunk of domestic financial support for the TruKKKer QUANONvoy also came from here. All in all, a cesspool of alt-right Fascism and degeneracy.
Edit: sigh… this event happened right about the time as I first posted this comment: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/sikh-student-attacked-kelowna-1.6966142
Stay classy, Kelowna. Stay classy.
I understand Canadians here.
