Thoughts on Canada's Unprecedented Election
"Trump is the first American president to lose a Canadian election."
Great article. Angus is a legend. I think he missed a big part of the analysis when he didn't consider voter dissatisfaction with existing parliaments. Canadians tend to vote parties out who have been in more than one term. This effect sent many voters to the Conservatives. That the Liberals won, speaks volumes for the sentiment that Canada does not want a Trump-like leader.
It's funny how the "left" thinks they "won". Carney is more like Trump than any other politician we've ever had. People like Trump and Carney are ideological and don't care about politics. They care about their ideas. The party is just an avenue to enact their ideas.
This is 100% populism and people have a hard time separating the party from the person. They assigned emotions and concepts to a party (the Liberal party for example) and believe the leader is beholden to those concepts. Carney isn't a Liberal just like Trump isn't a Republican.
Canadians have no idea what they unleashed. We're all going to pay the price because some people choose to vote for parties instead of policies.

Make it make sense.

Get out of here.
You are either a troll or you are very young. The only folks who say "left" and "right" in Canadian politics are conservatives, don't tip your hand.
hard time separating the party from the person
You couldn't signal harder that you had never heard of Mark Carney before 3 months ago if you tried.
Most Canadians saw that Poilievre has the intention of trying Trump shit up here, and voted against it.
We voted for Carney because it was plain to see that he did not have his lips firmly affixed to Trump's sphincter.
The Liberal party won, and it was historically significant how badly Poilievre shot himself in the face by running against Trudeau instead of running against Trump. Trudeau wasn't a candidate, and Lil pp is fucktarded for thinking that we like Trumpism up here.
The Cons had to pull Lil pp's face from their ads because they realised how fucked they were with him as leader. They need to find another way to sell Trumpism and cronyism sans Poilievre if they want a shot at winning a general election in the next 20 years.
Which policies are these? The ones they released with a week left till the election, well after a huge amount of people advance voted?
Honestly, if I hadn't already changed my mind about the liberals, pollievre's puppet master doing all those ads begging for conservative votes, would have.
