Are you old enough to remember the movie 'Dumb and Dumber'? it was a hit in America. Seems Americans wanted to be just like them. The dumber everyone got, the more brilliant they seemed to be.
A lot of Conservatives in Canada seem to think the same way. 'Dumb is good, Dumber is even better'. And when you get REALLY dumb, you will be just as brilliant as the Americans.
The support for the Conservatives is at a twenty year near-all-time-high, at 38%. At that level, they have pretty much all the support they will ever get. Their recent 44% polling was not because the population liked the Conservative platform, but because they really disliked Trudeau. Canadians did not want to vote for the Conservatives, but they did not want to vote for Trudeau even more. Once he left, the dislike went with him. The Conservatives have completely taped out the population that their ideology appeals to. The meter just does not go higher than that for them. Unfortunately, the intelligent Canadians have all gotten their act together and have consolidated their support for the Liberals, now that they have a leader that has political traction, all but swamping the Conservatives in seats.
Yet here is PP, thinking that he can convince even MORE Canadians to support him, by being even MORE of what they obviously do not want. 62% of Canadians never liked what he said before, why does he think saying it louder will convince them to like it?
Lack of education, and critical thinking, in the U.S. has been a HUGE problem for decades. More than half of people living in the United States between the ages of 16 and 74 read below a sixth-grade level. This is confirmed by Snopes. Trump is now attacking the universities. You can’t make educated decisions when you can’t read. Don’t let this happen in Canada!
It is all in the 2025 Manifesto, the 'blueprint' that Vance is following. The entire concept of the WASPE (White Anglo Saxon Penis Elite) movement has always been for the top 20% , entirely WASPE, to completely rule over the bottom 60%, either through direct slavery or indebted servitude or just plain 'subsistence-level wage'. The last one has actually gained dominance over slavery and indebted servitude, because on the first two, there is still a sense of having to provide for the worker. Subsistence-level wage - you just fire them and your obligation is over. And paying them subsistence-level wages is cheaper than having to feed and clothe them full time, even when there is no work for them.
A big part of that, is education. Do you know what perhaps the ONLY crime a white person could commit against a Black, in the US Confederate South that would result in the death penalty? Teaching them to read.
My concern with this trend is that without proportional representation, it will eventually metastasize into an American style two party system as the left is forced into ABC voting every election.
What do you mean, eventually? Outside of Québec with the Bloc, Canada is already for all-intents-and-purposes a two-party system. Most people I know more closely align with NDP or Green platforms. Most people I know still vote Liberal.
It continuously astounds me that the NDP and Greens don't make more noise about electoral reform.
The last term was an excellent example of it not quite being two party, with the NDP pushing a liberal minority for some significant gains. It's not nearly as good or democratic as it could have been, but I think it's important for us to remember what ground we do still have. This election could be an opportunity to galvanized support for proportional representation with so many people voting liberal out of perceived necessity.

Agreed, but that just means we have to. Democracy is strongest when we're engaged in more than just elections. Check out https://www.fairvote.ca/ to get involved.
If Carney gets a clear majority, with close to 50% of the popular vote for the Liberals, PP and Jagmeet will be gone. Any attempt at proportional representation will probably have to be a unilateral process driven almost entirely by the Liberals. The Cons and the NDP will be too demanding of concessions to jurry rig the system entirely in their favor.
