Not true, PP would also be directly and purposefully eroding minority rights and be attacking the vulnerable. Carney is at least leaving them alone. As a minority that is being directly targeted in the states right now I am really happy to be in Canada with a PM that isn't spreading active hate towards me right now. Instead I live in a province where that's happening. I will take only one level of government hating me.
True, it's like a hostage situation. Conservatives threaten to harm trans kids, or immigrants or whatever, and Liberals say "you'll have the vote for us if you want $(minority group) to live, but don't worry, you can vote your conscience next election", then never do anything to actually protect those minority groups in law, so the cycle repeats next election.
Liberals will never give real protection to vulnerable people because they want them to be constantly under threat of the Conservatives to keep the left from voting for the actual left-wing parties that WOULD give those groups protection that isn't subject to the whims of whatever party is in charge. Diabolical.
Yeah, 100%. The false dichotomy and the first past the post system really hurts us. Sadly getting that changed is something people don't focus on enough. We were "supposed to" have electoral reforms under the prior liberal leadership, but everyone forgot to bring it up ever again.
But saying they are "the same" really pushes that they are both "equally acceptable". Which I feel undermines the system even further. We need to emphasize the better then push them away from the worse. Right now they ratchet to worse because voters move with the "center" which is a sliding scale. As long as people feel they are equally "bad" then there isn't a big push to change things the same way as if they go "they both suck here is why one sucks more and let's push the better one to be better in areas they suck in" or "let's vote what we believe and stop being "stratigic" which would show parties where they actually should move to
