A bit older but something I didn’t see until now showing how US Republicans are just the worst and the dumbestas Canadian tourism is DOA.

    That’s disheartening. I’ve been under the impression that even most of your conservatives generally find Republicans to be completely cuckoo. Is that not the case?

      That’s becoming less and less the case I think, but we rejected their politics in the voting booth, so time will tell

        This time. Polls last fall had PP set to win. Then Trump came along and we rejected it all. But now Carney, who rode to a win on “elbows up” appears to be putting his elbows down and is caving to Trump. I don’t expect he’ll win a second time.

          Yeah, it’s not encouraging, I’m starting to get my shit together for the inevitable rise of evangelistic corporate terrorism in Canada

        Unfortunately, we have a first-past-the-post election system in most of the country (a very few places have ranked-choice). What that means is that most of the time, voting for anyone besides a Democrat or a Republican amounts to throwing your vote away.
