I am just really surprised that voters thought Trudeau was worth bringing back. I guess it's like the 2016 election though, like how we are surprised, the Democrats were surprised that trump was brought into power lmao.
However, the biggest issue is the pipeline in the west. Now with a government in power who is very against it and pro environment, Alberta and B.C. are most likely going to get thrown under the rug.
Well in all honestly, our conservatives are much more left than U.S.A Republicans, and some even say our conservatives are more left than U.S. Democrats
In our elections we also have a much larger choice of parties. Like this year we had the choice of Liberal, Conservative, NDP, Green, Bloc Quebecois, PPC and Indeoendents. Those independents are also like over a dozen other really small seemingly joke parties.
@Tom Nah they take more after the UK politically. Until 1922 it was always Conservatives vs. Liberals - the liberals extended the voting franchise to working class males in 1918 and were subsequently displaced by the Labour Party/socialists, and still exist today as the Liberal Democrats, but the Lib Dems are widely regarded to just be socially liberal version of the Conservatives.
The Liberal Party here collapsed due to incompetency and having no voting base outside of wealthy landowners - despite facilitating the Labour Party's rise to power, it was actually the Conservative Party who were sympathetic to the working class until the 1970s. I assume the Liberal Party in Canada learned from their British counterpart's mistakes.
@Otus Yeah that's probably true about being more left than American Democrats. The Democrats are not a left wing party, and you can see that in how their own leadership hate the likes of Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who are basically just European social democrats/what Europe has been voting for since World War II.
