Better keep voting for governments who are determined to make it worse then. Why do so many Canadians want better public services yet vote Conservative? There seems to be a disconnect.
There absolutely is. Parties encourage people to treat elections like a sport and identify with a "side." Corporate media play along with the horse race paradigm, rather than pushing back on this kind of framing that distracts from actual issues. (And heavens forbid we talk about conflicts of interest, especially when they cross party lines and are endemic to entire governments-- ruling and opposition parties alike.)
It's been increasingly normalized for vast swathes of the voting public to pay little to no attention what each party stands for now, and what they've done in the past. Media also fails to give fair attention to a variety of methods by which a given crisis could be tackled, since the interests of the corporate world tend not to be in line with the interest of the public.
It was the provincial liberals who started making things way worst in Quebec. Not that voting for different neo-cons would yield different results.
Mind you John-James Charest used to be an actual "Progressive Conservative".
Yeah the Québecois Liberal party was like the BC Liberals. Coopted by conservatives.
I hear they are back to being Liberal though. I know one thing, I can't stand more years of Legault, so whoever is against that pos I'll vote for them.
What does it mean for them to be "Liberals"? Both the Liberals and the PCs, at least, are right-of-centre neo-liberal parties who see their role as budging the "free market". They both fundamentally believe that what they really need to do is fine the right set of passive conditions that will make the market fix everything. They just disagree on the exact settings.
And the NDP have been playing catch-up with them on that issue for 20 years now.
The neo-cons and so-cons differ somewhat, but the various big-C Conservative parties don't do well at the polls when they're in charge.
Well, outside of Alberta, anyway.
