      I know right?

      I’m surprised Canadians are still duped into thinking the Liberals are a “left” party. They only look left because the Conservatives are so far right.

      They’re simply the other head of Canada’s neoliberal goon squad proffessing trickle down economics in one guise or another.

        I will kindly remind you that the government of Canada was created to protect the interests of a blanket retailer.

              Pourquoi pas les deux? Manufactured blankets from Europe, furs for hats from Canada, take a profit both directions. Keep the atrocities small enough to avoid most of the history books, and here we are.

        We know they switch between right/left depending on leader and what they think will win them the election. The cons go crazy right, the NDP needs help, hopefully Avi will lift them to the spotlight though sadly the only time the NDP really excels is when the population gets sick of the liberal bullshit (for a sitting then forget why the elected the NDP and go right back)

            I was referencing the orange wave in Quebec in 2011. They may not form gov’t but with enough members they do influence change for the better. I never said they formed a gov’t

        I remember the first time I heard the term left-wing liberal or mockery of liberals like they were these softies who can’t help but cry at all murderers and let them go to kill again while disarming rednecks. Also only interested in gay rights and welfare.

        I am too tired to continue.
