    So we’re clear, so the right wing propaganda that’s all over Reddit doesn’t spread here like wild fire, the Canadian “liberals” are just as bad as the Americans.

    And the reason they formed a minority government is the same reason Kamala lost, their insistence on genocide. The liberal party won in Canada, because the Canadian people rejected the conservative party more, but the liberal minority government has no bite.

    They didn’t defeat fascism, they (like us) desperately want a third option and didn’t have a feasible one. It’s not as bad as it could have been, so sure, “Great work, Canada!” But now the real work starts if they don’t want to go through this same drama next election.

    They just kept the fascist coin on the same face for another cycle.

      I haven’t heard a single Canadian mention that as an election issue, and I’d been following the election. I live in a metropolitan city, and I have many Muslims in my social circles. I also have people in my social circles who lean more NDP, and others who are further left than that.

        i dont think that played it big role why she lost, both parties support Israel every election, the only place that would have any effect is michigan which is a muslim stronghold of voters. its the fact that there was significant election inteference that wasnt questioned, and she is a woman and POC. her campaign underestimated the msygoyny of AA and hispanic groups which are traditionally conservative in nature.

        foreign policy has the least effect on elecitons than domestic issues, like the fabricated inflation problems, or grocery prices.

        if she had not said those words about israel, it mightve boosted her support a little, but not as much as you think compared to the other issues: sexism and racism.

        Oh well if you haven’t heard it, that’s all the data we need. You have many Muslims in your social circles after all, and only Muslims care about genocide right?

        What an arrogant response.

      Canada is in existential need of electoral reform. People should be able to vote for who they actually want to represent them.
