We were headed down the conservative path, strange to think that the Trump regime saved our asses by being so insufferably horrible that the entire country woke up. Very grateful today that we have a functional adult behind the wheel during this difficult period
Liberals won by less than a million votes.
Does this map suggest that is going to happen again?
Some Americans avoided voting for Democrats because Israel.
Some Canadians avoided voting liberal because "we need change.".
It stops being politics when neo-fascists take over. Then it becomes survival. When your government wages war on YOU, the people.
Just ask the Americans.
We’re still heading towards a conservative path, although a more moderate one, with carney being center-right, and the conservatives holding almost half the seats.
I... I can't envision a world where conservatism doesn't beget more conservatism..
What a strange utopia you Canadians have
Still, over 40% of Canadians voters wanted pp. That number is too high. Also fuuuuuuuuck fptp
Super pissed off FPTP is still a thing. My riding was quite interesting this year. Polls showed a safe conservative win with NDP slightly behind and liberals at barely anything. What actually happened was a huge number of liberal votes compared to what was expected and less conservative and NDP votes as a result. The conservatives won with only ~38% of the vote vs the over 50% they were showing in the polls. I can almost garuntee that if we had ranked choice, either NDP or liberals would have won. It's very frustrating as I'm certain a lot of the left leaning voters were focusing on a national level and not a local one.
A common occurrence it feels like
Most wanted change and not Peter rabbithair.
We need electoral reform in Canada.
Over 40% wanted some aspect of the vote. Local Candidate, party or leader or other aspects. His own riding didn't want him. Lol! :D
Others still just didn't like the other parties as options. Extreme fringe elements like the various flavours of white supremacists just clung to something that would embrace them under the big tent.
You're correct, but because the leaders of the party aren't actively distancing themselves from those fringe groups, they are complicit
Absolutely. I did say "embraced".
Well that and Lil'PP not being able to distance himself from his "Trump-lite" image because that would have turned away a big chunk of his base.
