Yeah. Best case scenario I've felt would be that Trudeau resigns, the liberals bring in someone more popular that will effectively block Pierre Poppinfresh and hold onto a minority government.
Keeping PP from power isn't quite as imperative as Trump down south, but it's close. He's more Ron DeSantis than Trump.
PP is aiming to rewrite the charter and is gunning for a full slate of conservative premiers.
I think my best case scenario is that Jagmeet Singh steps down, the NDP quickly select a leader that relates to the working class (something like a Tim Walz type) and they sweep the election on a workers rights grassroots push.
I'm still daydreaming of a Rachel Notley federal run
Best case scenario...yes. But likely...not very.
The only thing that the bankers and CEOs that keep the Liberal coffer's full, and the Oil & Gas Companies (and now Russia apparently) that keep the Cons coffer's full, is a mutual hatred for the working man and for unions.
It would take a herculean effort, and a charismatic leader that we haven't seen since Layton, to bring the NDP into Official Opposition range, let alone leading it all.
I agree that that would be the best possible version of Canada. But greed will never allow it to happen.
Yeah, 0% chance this happens, but a man can dream, and vent online about our political situation.
If the NDP and/or LPC only run candidates in ridings they're likely to win, that could help them elect both more NDP MPs and more LPC MPs, possibly keeping PP at bay. Of course that won't happen and we're gonna get vote split instead.
You can bet that when Kamala wins in the US the liberals will elect an indigenous female just because thatโs what they do. As long as sheโs competent no problem but if itโs a diversity hire, screw them.
Iโm centre in general and either slightly left or slightly right depending on the issue. Rampant political correctness and nanny government pisses me off something fierce though.
