Hard to call Canada not right wing when basically 90% of the country is voting for central right and far right parties. Liberals haven't been even slightly left leaning for a long time. The most generous way to describe them is a party that uses left leaning policies to achieve right leaning goals.

What's a threat to Canadian unity isn't Alberta, but it's pushing Alberta isolation like this that's doing it.
It seems like only 20% of Alberta actually wants succession, and a lot of it is conditional on BC joining them, which is basically a nonstarter for BC anyways.
The threat to Canada is Alberta feeling isolated and articles like this furthers such sentiment.
Having strong ideological beliefs on top of being desperate doesn't mean you have mental illness by a massive margin. Most terrorists at most are depressed, not mentally ill. These are two radically different things. Just because someone is a danger to themselves and others doesn't make them terrorists either.
Honestly, who the hell wants a guy who's advocating for the removal of Canadian rights, funneling tax dollars to the rich, and is part of the same international conservative advocacy order as Trump and some other neo-Nazi fascist leaders? We see how much one bad actor can do to a nation, and while Canada has some safeguards to prevent such unilateral damage from coming into place, the Conservatives are full of yes-men who'll just sign off anything that PP wants, so he'll have defacto control over the parliament if he's elected.
A vote for the Cons is a vote for a fascist dictator.
If you want to vote for a right-wing leader, then vote Carney. The liberals are center right and always have been. A fare safer and more reasonable choice than someone who repeatedly walks all over the average Canadian and says that its "for your own good". A man who refuses to answer questions and goes back on his promises like they were just things he said while drunk on some friday bar crawl.
While I do agree that he did help, he wasn't very instrumental in saving Canada from that meltdown. It was the policies that were already in place at the time that prevented Canadian banks from being overleveraged, which made fixing the issue in Canada far easier than it was in the states.
Carney did help prevent a major disaster, but he also started from a far better position when doing so.
Unfortunately Harper removed all the safeguards that prevented the 2008 meltdown, so we're as vulnerable to it now as the US was back then.
The freedom to ridicule is fundamental to keep hate out of the mainstream. Fascism feeds off of fear and hate, and the best cures to them are comedy and comradery.
You see it all over the world and history. Anywhere fascism is going strong, the people fear and hate like no other. But when people are filled with positive vibes, they come together and work together for the betterment of all rather than bring each other down which ends up bringing themselves down.
Hate doesn't belong in Canada, just like how fascism doesn't belong here.
We don't have a left in Canada. At least if you're talking about amongst parties that have more than five seats before this election.
The NDP hasn't been leftist in the slightest since Jack Layton died. Half the time they're more right than the Liberals, who are proud center right with their left leaning policies to promote right leaning goals. Having a couple of left leaning policy amongst a swarm of right leaning ones doesn't make you leftist at all. Just more than than the borderline neo-Nazis that the Cons have become (and arguably always have been).
This is simply history. You can read about it in normal everyday history books of any sort regardless of affiliation or background.
I'm not trying to give a one-sided impression of what happened, but simply counter-arguments to your statements, which is why I didn't bother to reiterate your own points. I'm not saying that what you said was all wrong, but that it was only half the story. I provided the other half. If you consider it illiterate propaganda, then I suppose all hail the Han dynasty and all of Earth awaits the day they overthrow the whites in Confucius glory or something.
Ontarians as a whole, sure. But all of Toronto voted liberal, yet we're still stuck with a guy who can't stop meddling with our city to the exclusion of pretty much the rest of the province. The very people who voted against him are the ones stuck with meddling with their neighborhoods.
I mean, is anybody surprised? No matter how many underhanded deals and other political problems and disputes China has had with us, that's nothing compared to outright threats of annexation. Nothing threatens a people like outright ceasing to exist.
This is just going to create a muddy hole in the middle of Toronto that'll still be nothing but torn down buildings a billion dollar flaming money pile a decade from now.
Is there even any demand for a spa in this city? I almost never hear anybody talking about them, and the few I've seen were all run down and barely surviving.
There's gotta be more efficient ways to donate billionaires Ontarian tax dollars.
My question is who is she running against. What have they done/not done, and if her opposition has a record as well, who is "less bad" in this case? It's pretty difficult to honestly read this at this point in the election without a comparison and not see it as a smear piece.
This isn't my riding, so I don't know, but if it was, I'd like to know the dirt on the other candidates and get an honest comparison.
And all that is even before taking the greater national election into consideration and that PP is out to take out Canadian rights and freedoms while giving billions of tax dollars to rich corporations as hand-outs all the while throwing the most vulnerable to the curb all the while saying that it's for the benefits of those he himself trampled on.
