Can you name me one policy that is left of Democrats? I can name quite a few that are not - obsession with woke nonsense and culture war bullshit, disdain for the media, anti-intellectualism, climate change, disdain for government, dismantling the public service - without even getting into right to abortion, which is where a not insignificant proportion of the party wants to go, as evidenced by the thinly veiled and thankfully ham fisted attempts to push through bills to undermine it.
It’s hard for Poilievre to distance himself from Trump when he borrows Trump politics. I mean, really, if you’re trying to sound less like Trump, maybe don’t bring up plastic straws. That’s really the most important issue? I thought Poilievre had some political instincts, so I thought he would wisely avoid dumb statements like that…but I think now he wants to look like Trump because a) is all he knows and he clearly cannot pivot, and b) he calculates that his base doesn’t care, and it seems he’s right…which makes him and them profoundly unaware of the new reality, and profoundly unprepared for what we must do to meet it.
For now. Conservatives have been inching further right for decades and if the US is any indication, they’re gonna start speeding up. Especially if they win this one.
Yup. Trump said he’d only deport criminals and we see how that’s going. PP said he’d only use notwithstanding to take away the rights of criminals… wonder where that’s heading.
Canadians conservatives are left of the Democrats. Canada is far less right leaning.
Are you assuming I’m ok with Democrats?
