Really cool and good that anything to the left of Hitler is unthinkable.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 32 points 1 week ago

In what way are they too far too the left? Every westerner is a fascist

[-] Riffraffintheroom@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

To almost everyone, including many liberals who consider themselves leftists, “the left” means immigration, minorities of any kind being discussed in any way, and high taxation, which is understood as a price increase of any kind even if it’s not directly from a tax, because in that case it’s probably the result of a tax on production that is being passed on to the consumer.

Unfortunately, kkkanada looks to amerikkka for cultural identity, so it's gonna be Pierre Pollivere blaming the liberals for the next 4 years.

maybe if i just put up a bunch of soviet flags 50 feet south of the border you guys would get some better ideas up there

so it's gonna be Pierre Pollivere blaming the liberals for the next 4 years.

No term limits, Trudeau was in office for over a decade. It may take a while for his throne to be taken

Section 56.1 of the Elections Act says that a general election is to be held on the 3rd Monday of October every 4th calendar year after the last election.

Assuming nothing career-ending happens during his administration, he'll make at least 4 years.

[-] GaveUp@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Ah yes, I meant he'll probably be blaming the liberals for way more than 4 years because I don't see any political will from Canadians to vote anybody differently anytime soon

Bloc Quebecois official opposition would be funny.

[-] Fishroot@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

They probably will tho. Last time was in the 90s.

Welcome back, end of history.

[-] Fishroot@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

why do you need the Liberal party when you have the NDP and the Conservative Party?

[-] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The NDP phases out of existence when it comes time to actually vote which is a big drawback for them

[-] Fishroot@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

Probably because the colour orange blends with red as election day comes closer

[-] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

Someone's gotta maintain the illusion of progress while giving Canadians a release valve that also keeps the NDP out of power.

[-] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago

nah, low information liberal boomers will keep the LPC going in the opposition seat

[-] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

I mean I want to disagree. I want to say the boomers are upset about how things are looking for them, now, too. But to be quite honest, I'm absolutely certain Trudeau and the LPC can coast the next 4-8 years on brand recognition.

[-] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

yep, and by then the CPC will have demonstrated that they are a bunch of fuckups and it will be time for the LPC to have another kick at the can

I'm sceptical only because the political tension has grown and the fringes have more weight than they used to. The party cratered in 2011 and might be facing an even steeper dropoff this time. If the BQ prevent them from having a solid base in Quebec and the Toronto suburbs go blue, they'll be in pretty rough shape.

[-] Riffraffintheroom@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

The Toronto suburbs are absolutely positively going blue

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago
