Parents who voted in Conservatives upset that they have to pay school fees after Conservatives cut school funding program that the New Democrats put in place
Lmao my town is in an uproar because there is no bussing for the high school, but my town literally voted to disincorporate (and won!) rather than pay a double-digit yearly increase on their taxes... to pay for bussing.
More and more it seems like people just don't want to help pay for services that are extremely helpful. Yet when those services are removed, they get all uppity about it. It's just like brexit. Stupidity on a massive scale.
Because it's extremely easy to convince people to make conservative decisions, but they have to actually be paying some level of conscious
attention to get behind progressive ideas.
As someone who lives in red deer, yup, sounds about right.
My fellow Red Deerians are political illiterates. My one friend works in admin for schools here. Or at least, she used to, but she lost her job after the party she furiously badgered everyone to vote for got in and cut the funding at her school, targeting administrators. Which they ran on.
This sounds like almost all red counties across America. Politically illiterate and full of bandwagon republicans who don’t understand they’re voting to hurt themselves and their livelihoods.
NDP and Liberal parties, which are politically very similar to each other. Closest analogue to them is the US Democrat party but the Democrats in the US are more neolib than either Canadian leftist party - although Canadian politics tends to trail US politics by a few years, so they'll get there lol.
What would the Canadian version be (no points if maple syrup or Tim Horton's is mentioned)? EDIT: the Canadian version of "they probably planned to get new AR-15s with that money"?
They didn't cut the taxes bruh, they just started pocketing it instead of spending it on children. Everyone loses here, except for Conservative politicians.
