How can so many Canadians support a party that put punching down on trans youth as part of their platform?
Do they not care that the CPC's policies are literally going to kill children?
This is the result of years of targeted misinformation from Russia, China, and American and domestic conservatives. "Seventy-nine per cent of Canadian respondents believed at least one of the conspiracy theories shown to them" (source).
Hopefully, the GOP trying (and hopefully failing) a fascist coup will wake up everyone ignorant of what's going on and the dangers of hateful populist conservatives.
Probably because when you are having trouble feeding and housing yourself, a fraction of a percent of the population that isn't you doesn't matter. There are more people dying yearly because of failed Liberal+NDP policies than there are trans youth in total.
The NDP should be seeing massive gains in a situation like this but unfortunately they made a deal with the devil that they seem hellbent on keeping, so what do you expect the majority of people to do? Vote Green and Bloc?
I'm not sure I'm following you. The NDP coalition got dental and perceptions added to public health. Is that (plus other smaller stuff) not a big enough win for a minority party to get in a coalition government?
I just don't get Canadian politics. The party that wants to deregulate everything so the 1% can capture even more wealth at everyone else's expense (and that's punching down on trans kids and wants to roll back women's rights) is beating the party that wants to help the bottom four quintiles of Canadians.
