      Unless something happens, so far people are voting for PP because of the carbon tax stuff. people don’t want to understand it and want to see the prices at the store cheaper not the refunds at tax time.

      Over 51% of men are voting for Poilivre in the next election. That’s across all age groups. We’re where we usually are: 5-10 years behind something the US is doing.

        I hate to say it but the NDP need to replace Singh with someone more charismatic.

        There’s too much Trudeau hate for the Liberals to have a chance. Too many people will be voting “anything but liberal” this election because they blame Trudeau.

        Right now conservatives feel like the only other option because there’s also enough racists to not to vote for Singh.

        We need another NDP leader like Jack Layton that people will see as a symbol of change or we’ll be following in the Americans footsteps.

          Let’s be blunt, the last part is why Singh has to be replaced. This guy got us fucking dental care added to our universal healthcare and people fucking shrugged at it. Rural voters won’t vote him, that’s the ‘issue’ with him in charge.

          So the NDP will be forced to pick a white guy to lead and then they can start wrestling away voters from the Lib and Cons. It sucks, but I guess that’s what Canada has decided it is.

          EDIT:

          Just to be clear, these are who Canadian voters preferred to win the presidency in the US:

          Those Con numbers are bleak.

      I’ve heard that y’all have your own far-right, MCGA bullshit to deal with. Do everything you can to stop it. Get involved with as many organizations as you can and get as many people involved as you can. “It’ll never happen here” is complete and utter bullshit. Good luck, Northern brethren.

        We’ve already lost that battle sadly. Alberta has Smith (think Marjorie Taylor Greene), the Cons, while refusing to admit climate change is real, and with a leader who spent his entire political career trying to repeal abortion rights/gay rights, have locked away the vote of men with 51%+.

        In 2022, 41% of Con voters supported Trump. In 2024, it’s increased to 44% (higher than Biden or Harris in both, though.)

        In addition, the Canadian Right-Wing’s favourite Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, heads up a global ‘get Right-Wing governments elected’ organization.

        So I wish you the best of luck as well, though I fear we are on similar Germany-in-the-1930’s path).

        Help the women and LGBT people in your life, they’re going to need it.

      The USA screwing up trade never leaves Canada in a good spot. Our prices will go up too. And we’re about to suffer the same effect of mass ignorance after the next federal election when the voters elect a populist bigot with no idea how to run a country. We’re already suffering it in the provincial governments. Plus the bigots in Canada feel empowered to get loud and violent when the Americans are all doing it. I’m glad not to be living in the USA but we’re not looking forward to fun times.
