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.
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.
And their shittiest party is bending over backward to keep PP relevant.
I'm not used to being on the happy side of this meme. Feels good.
Ikr, Australia has some huge problems but we actually pulled off doing a good thing for once.
Labor are far more receptive to change through public pressure than the Libs. So we're off to a good start.
I hate to be so pessimistic but you don't align yourself with the empire, fight it's wars, depend on it for defense and trade, and get free from it. I really wish Canadians and others well. I hope your governments stand against American fascism.
But the pessimist in me just sees the capitalist controlled parties fighting for control before their inevitable slide towards their own form of fascism in alliance with the empire.
I really hope I'm wrong. Other western countries look like utopias compared to America right now. I just think the ruling class of other western countries is using nationalism to fuel its own fascism.
You're right of course. But I'm gonna enjoy the morning-after glow for just a day.
Guys I gotta say if the working class of the world doesnt unite our only options will be auth/distopian hellholes
Only until the biosphere is completely incapable of supporting life, which won't take too long. So we've got that going for us, which is nice
This near term political disaster sure is a nice break from ecocide anxiety.
Good to know Mother Nature's got them if we dont.
You are not alone. It seems like the UK is eager to join you
I am not so confident it will last. They have a delay atleast
Friends?
