Great essay by Scrimshaw on the state of play in the OLP. It’s likely they won’t survive another election if they continue with their internal delusions.
Smiling neoliberalism is on it's last legs: when money was cheap and you didn't have to worry about right-wing demagogues grifting on protofascist rage, it was great. You could take corporate cash, sell off assets, strike up commissions and committees and generally do as little as possible.
Everyone (who mattered) made money, and it was great.
Well, it's the end of the road, voters are actually expecting results, and painting park benches with rainbows isn't going to cut it, especially now that Conservatives don't hate brown people any more.
They still hate LQBT2Q+ and secretly behind closed doors also hate abortion and womens reproductive rights though. Which is going to continue to be a problem when it comes to convincing women voters. So not all is lost, just quite yet.
The Ontario Liberals fucking suck though, Ontario politics is a sewer. NDP is impotent, Cons just bluster through trying to privatize everything and rewarding themselves and their supporters, and the Libs are just not on planet earth. And the Green party is unfortunately just 50 years ahead of their time.
@psvrh@RandomCanuck McGuilty and Wynne destroyed the Ontario Liberals. John Fraser is in over his head, and Marit Stiles will embarrass the Liberals now. It's not looking good for the Ontario Liberals for the next 8 years.
