    To be fair, we basically just elected a Biden-style neoliberal who is slightly to the right of Trudeau. As affordability continues to gradually decline, our Trump (Poilievre) or a similar guy will be even more empowered. We’re basically a few years behind the USA right now and your right are actively trying to speed it up.

      That’s why the 2-party system is so flawed. I used to be so gullible to think that if everyone keeps voting for the left party then the parties overall would sway more left in their future policies, but that is impossible in the capitalistic hellhole we live in.

        I’m still a bit baffled it doesn’t work.

        Like, the Left not doing enough SHOULD lead the right to decide “Dang, we need a message that appeals. Let’s blame the rich, and champion power over corporations!” But…instead they blame nonsensical things, promise nothing, and appeal to hatred, and get more than one vote.

        That should just…never happen. That faction should be gonezo, making plenty of room for an independent party.

      The liberal party should pass the electoral reform they promised so more political parties can compete on who can beat conservatives the best.

      Stopping the conservatives is the priority… right?

      The liberal party honors their promises… right?
