Oh please, Ontario is just a polite and liberal mini-USA

if Ontario defines what "liberal" is, then we're doomed.

Depends on where in Ontario we're talking about .... everything south of Orillia is basically the United States, between Orillia and North Bay is like the Ozarks, between North Bay and Thunder Bay is equal parts socialist and capitalist, and the entire France sized north is the chaotic frontier (I know because I'm indigenous and this is where my family is from).

Ontario isn't one mentality and every election cycle, there is more and more of a need to break up the regions because the south doesn't represent the north and the north is constantly in conflict with the south.

fair enough. My experience is only with what the provincial government does, so, like you say, I don't get a view of the north.

Does Ontario only look liberal in comparison with Alberta?

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago

They both look like three oligopolies in a trenchcoat.

Ontario politicians don't show the same overt ideological capture that defines Albertan politics, but it's there under the surface.
