Canada has only put it off for a few years. The liberals have been in power for a long time and people were already itching for a change.

It isn't like the conservatives did poorly They turned out tones of votes, the only reason they are not in power is because the left United to keep them out, essentially decimating the other left wing parties.

The next election we have will very likely go to the conservatives when the left splits again.

Itching for a change for the better. Not worse. Important detail that needs to be described in the campaign. Peepeepoopoo is also not a good leader especially when the Trudeau effect was the only thing that changed the outcome.

Doesn't matter what they want.

The only real option for right wing voters is the conservatives so they will keep voting blue.

The only real option for liberal voters not happy with the current state of things is the NDP.

So the NDP pulls votes from the liberals and the conservatives will be in power.

We need Jack Layton back…. Anyone know a good Cleric with access to Level 5 spells?

There's a non-zero chance the CPC splits too. There's major infighting, with even Jason Kenney somehow being the voice of reason versus the MAGA wing of the party. https://xcancel.com/jkenney/status/1918107158035451945

Ford goes national, party factions hard, reverse Reform Party lol, reconciles under Ford, Canada gets its Trump years, not months, after the US swings right as is tradition.

Sigh. I hate this. We are so fucked and climate and H5N1 aren’t on fucking pause.

reconciles under Ford

Ford is one of the personae most non grata among the Maple MAGA crowd, so that's (thankfully) a hard no. A more likely scenario I think is a split back into Reform and PC, with PCs peeling off a lot of Bloc support in QC as well as CPC support in ON and Atlantic and becoming viable that way.

Why don’t they like him? He seems repugnant enough to me that he should be a shoe in for MAGA types.

[–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

He isn't socially conservative, and he gets along well with Liberals (Chrystia Freeland is a close friend, for example)

That’s kinda how Trump was too though.

[–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 minutes ago

That's a very good point. Would Dougie go far-right if it suits him? Maybe.

And their shittiest party is bending over backward to keep PP relevant.
