Trump winning was the worst thing that could have happened to the Conservatives. Dealing with Trump's bullshit is the one thing that most people seem to agree that Trudeau and the Liberals handled well.

PP wanted his "carbon tax election", but just about no one is very concerned about that right now.

Good luck, y'all. If Canada manages to avoid the global shift to the alt-right, it will be one of the few political bright spots in an otherwise dark future.

Don't get any ideas

In a strange way it's the best thing that could have happened here. PP would be gargling fascist hog if elected and it's plain to see

The worst case scenario would have been an early election before the one in the US and be stuck right now with both Trump down south and PP here.

Yes! I was sweating bullets when Jagmeet announced an early end to the confidence agreement.

It sounds like it was always going to take a while for the non-confidence motion to pass, but I didn't realise that at first.

Funny how building your whole platform around "not Trudeau" was short-sighted. Never could have seen that coming....

It's the same thing that happened in the US but in reverse. Democrats ignored their constituents and made their platform "more genocide" and "we're not Trump"

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago

I feel like their platform was "less genocide than Trump", but still genocide. Which wasn't very good either obviously.

Winning power is usually what undoes fascists. Hopefully it makes somewhat less of a mess this time.
