  It wasn’t so bad when we had Liberals and less neo-Liberals. We’ve also had Liberal governments that don’t fix as many of the Con failures of the past as they used to.

  Also our medical is mostly provincial so as they flip Con we are losing more and more Universal healthcare. If you can believe it, we’re actually going towards more of the American model each election.

  I hope your progressives turn it around a little, because it looks like young males all around the world are leaning fascist.

  Trudeau is poison to the Liberal brand. In Canada we don’t vote parties in, we vote parties (and leaders) out. Trudeau has been PM for just over 9 years, the 7th longest serving PM.

  What will happen is we’ll vote the Cons in, they’ll make hilariously huge mistakes like they always do, get 1-2 terms, then get voted out in favour of another Liberal government. If you go back throughout our history we have almost exactly 2-1 Lib - Con governments by time in office.

  Poilievre is an anti-abortion career politician who is going to try to ape what Trump did, only every time he speaks he loses votes. He has a whiny voice and is widely referred to as ‘Milhouse’ because, well, he looks like Milhouse. He’s not a strong-man and his public speaking is embarrassing. He’ll brown nose Trump as much as he can and absolutely eat it when Trumps policies fuck our economy.

  They don’t really have anything to gain by delaying until October

  They gain more money, because they are the only major political party that has virtually zero dollars in donations from companies. The NDP absolutely struggle when there are frequent elections, because they’re funded almost entirely by the (barely remaining) middle class, and the poor. After Harper removed the cap/guaranteed money for each party to have per election, the NDP have been so far behind the funding of the other parties it’s very sad.

  Hell, BC almost elected John Rustad. Wasn’t it 600 votes between them and the BC NDP? Fucking terrifying.

  The problem is it spreads. It’s already taking over some provinces in Canada.
