I hear that, but I'm a left leaning Canadian whose face has been getting eaten by the left since they've taken power, so I'm getting to the point where I don't care who is in charge, I'm poor and I'm already getting fucked by the leftists, so getting fucked by the right can't be that much worse.
Liberals are not left, they are centerists.
I mean, they're liberals and inside the Canadian Liberal movement along with more centrist elements are left liberals such as social liberals or progressive liberals or even the odd social democrat ( although most of those in Canada are New Democrats). On the whole, Canadian Liberalism is more left of centre than classic liberalism, neo-liberalism or right liberalism. At least, in my estimation.
They're cultural leftists and financial rightwingers. They're just conservatives that pander to gay people and minorities
Uh....yeah, it'll get much worse. Just look at the track record of Conservatives and their policies.
If you think you're life will get any better under the Conservatives you're lying to yourself. Ontario is a representation of what is to come, their "solutions" will be nothing more than poor choices that will do more damage than good to the average person and will enrich their friends.
You can bitch about the federal liberals all you want but the fact of the matter is housing, healthcare, transportation are all handled by the province and those are failing due to decades of Conservative leadership. BC finally got rid of our Conservative party in 2017 and things have slowly gotten better, still not great but I guarantee better than if we stayed with the cons; at least our current premier is actually trying to make real change to legislation and policy to move the province out of the 1900s.
As a 32 year old with tens of thousands in school debt living with my parents who can't afford to move out despite making a decent income, I understand feeling like things aren't going to get better, but I guarantee voting for the party that has been sucking corporate dick and spitting in the face of the middle and lower classes in the open for decades isn't going to make things better for me, or you, or anyone in this country who actually needs the help.
How are you doing fellow leftist?
Waiting for all you fools to catch on that the politicians calling themselves leftists are very very rarely that
It’s not very nice to call people fools.
