I definitely require high speed internet access. Other than that, I could use some help! EDIT: Mountains are not a deal breaker. Water would be nice, but sea level rise is a concern.

EDIT: Oh, Come ONNNN!!!!

There’s right wing and then there’s MAGA. Have you read up on Project 2025? Is abortion legal in Canada?

Pollievre is a snivelling rat man, but anyone who claims he's equivalent to Trump needs to turn off their screens

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

He is, but the same forces that are pushing project2025 and are puppetering Trump are also active in the CPC.

You're talking about the guy who said he'd use the notwithstanding clause? Sure, maybe you like the idea of longer sentences for criminals, but I would still question whether you should love that more than respecting the constitution.

Hah for now it is….

You also have Danielle Smith (Alberta Premier) cozying up to Tucker Carlson, Poilievre (National Conservative Party leader) and the convoy, India and Russia.

And GOP operatives who coincidentally, I’m sure, also supported the convoy.

Canadian right wing influencers caught up in the Russian payment scandal.

I don’t believe for a second that Pierre and elements of the federal conservative party wouldn’t want to get rid of our rights in Canada. It’s just unpopular to say that part out loud.

I mean, Pierre already said he's going after porn, so it will be interesting to see how that plays out.

Accessible abortion rights will almost certainly be back on the chopping block next election.

I don't think we'll have it nearly as bad as America because our political system works a bit differently but the conservative leader/party definitely have the hallmarks of trumpism with white nationalism, climate change denying, anti-women and anti-trans issues. They're going to play the same "we're better for the economy" game as well.
