The only way is to make sure conservatives never form government again.

That doesn’t seem like an entirely sustainable plan?

I’m trying to separate what I want (which is what you addressed) with something practical that would allow Canada to invest in longer-term projects like this one.

There is no solution that will prevent a minority of greedy people from trying to take from others. We fight the same battles our parents fought and our children will have to fight those same battles as will their children. The only hope is to make sure enough people are educated as to why publicly regulated institutions are important to protect and pass those lessons down to the next generation.

Tbqh I think not only are you correct here but it’s the message I was mentally avoiding.

I feel like we are losing the verge of losing this battle currently, with the CPC inches away from taking a hacksaw to our existing institutions.

But you’re right, this is the battle we need to fight. I shouldn’t look for some shortcut to avoid the hard work.

I don't think there is anything to prevent one government from undoing what another government has done, unless it is something constitutional where they have to have buy in from at least 7 provinces and 50% of the population.

A society where we choose to kneecap ourselves every few years because we allow people to raise ignorant bigots seems less sustainable than one where we outlaw right wing ideologies.

You do realize that 40% of the country just voted for the right-wing? That many provinces are governed by right-wingers.

How would you ban this, short of an authoritarian state?

40% of the country voted out the incumbent.

The same thing that happens whenever people don't like their personal finances.

I also think it's a shame that there was no leftist party available for people to turn to when they want to break the status quo

Trump didnt sway the election in any way?

I figured people were afraid Pierre was going to side with Alberta and not do anything about Trumps tariffs on manufacturing. Since Alberta could easily survive 10% tariffs, while the east could never survive 25%.
