There's been a marked rightward shift in Canada's political ecosystem, with the Conservatives going fascist, the Liberals becoming the true Conservative Party, and the NDP decimated by First Past the Post. I don't think this reflects the population at all.

Don't underestimate how much American MAGA rhetoric has infiltrated Canada. A lot of people here are bigoted against immigrants, queers, natives, or [INSERT MARGINALIZED GROUP HERE].

Even in my heavily Liberal city, I've heard someone suggest a homeless hunting season (as in, a season to hunt homeless people). I've seen a guy rage because city hall was flying a Pride flag. I've heard people say they're scared to go to the mall because there's too many immigrants now.

I do truly think most people I encounter have their hearts in the right place, but I'm often surprised at what some of them say, even the ones who seem nice. Unfortunately, I think this rightward shift represents more of the population than we'd like to admit.

As usual liberal pragmatism just means “we are right wingers too.”

Carney is and always has been a banker, and banks are funding the incineration of the planet.
