Yeah this won't be a realignment. At best it's the end of Trudeau - a possibility growing stronger by the day - we might get a snap election from the fallout (NDP and Bloc guaranteed are figuring out their seat pickup odds as we speak) and hell even see the Cons snatch a minority because lol vote splitting, but the fundamental political issues remain.
Canada is really stuck in two (occasionally a third) political alignments for the foreseeable future.
There's no magic ballot box solution. With how fucked Canada's electoral system is and the running theme of shitlibs stealing elections they would end up with more seats.
The problem is that even the majority of conservatives (in any first-world country, not just Canada) are so cucked and brainwashed over generations that they'd be terrified without a powerful big-brother federal government. Most of them simply want that powerful federal government to do what they want.
Canada is our home. Fuck these dorks.
I don't think it particularly matters whether conservatives are cucks to me or not since I am on the fringe of politics. I just think culturally and geographically Canada is ungovernable and needs to be split into a half dozen or so subregions either under a weak confederation or independent with free trade and perhaps free movement like the EU.
Might have different definitions of realignment. For me a true political realignment would be akin to the rise of a new political party, something like the Progressive Alliance and Reform merger into the Cons that flips the current federal script and strategy. We don't have that right now and won't for the foreseeable future, no matter how optimistic the PPC might be at usurping the Cons. Switching between Lib and Con governments with different secondary support flavours is simply rearranging deck chairs at this point, there's very little separating them on the important issues.
To be fair, I still think first definition is the correct one.
Because they aren't protesting. Fighting pfizer or trudeau would be at the bottom of the priority list of an immigrant. The stubborn ones never leave their country
Yes they are. Viva Frei has interviewed several immigrant Canadians just this morning. He's like on a one-man mission to prove all of that shit wrong by just walking around and talking to people.
If anyone in government gave a shit about the country, they'd make laws against foreign nationals getting positions in municipal, federal and provincial government but the parties all love that donation money. I wonder if the fact they sold their country out to foreign interests keeps them up at night?
Right. I think when it comes down to it we see the problem as different things. You see the issue as predominantly a political one, that the country has a liberal consensus and the conservatives can't get it together, that's my interpretation of it anyway.
The United States has droves of conservative populists obsessed with consistency who have been entering all levels of the Republican Party for years now, winning elections in just about every level below Senator, bullying RINOs into retiring in shame… and the party is still full of fucking bitches who will flip flop just like ‘ol Bergen up north at a moment’s notice.
