Are people watching fox news in canada as well? Or is it twitter and facebook?

And Tiktok and youtube.

I hear people bring up the first and second amendment in Canada, they clearly have strong feelings about Rupert's Land and its governance.

If you have a different idea about something like how taxes should be spent, I can hear you out. If all you do is bring up points that don't apply to you from a different county, well, it's embarrassing for both of us.

Makes me feel a lot bettter about losing high quality men such as Jagmeet Singh and Jonathan Pedneault!

Can't agree! Muclair and Singh moved so far to center they destroyed the party. Not just my words, the party removed all reference to socialism from the party constitution.

It was a strategy that made a half-assed amount of sense during the years where the Liberals were struggling. Canadians (particularly Ontario) seems to like their politics roughly center. So if you want to supplant the Liberals as the main party representing the Left, you can't be too far left. Same thing happens to the Conservatives. Every time they drift too far right to appease the Alberta crowd, they start losing the Ontario suburbs.

Plus, "socialism" is still a bad word for most of the older population. You can get rid of the word, change none of the policies, and that will be enough to keep the "socialism bad" crowd happy.

This is how the Overton window shifts right. Socialists need to be louder and more visible than ever.
