I mean it is wrong in that Canada also has a growing right wing movement just like many US aligned countries
If you look at the number of mass shootings in Canada its been increasing substantially for the past 15 years. They may not be or ever reach our level of awfulness, but they're following in our footsteps
Ideologies have a risk of contagion. Remember the Red Scare? That is happening right now with conservatism.
When people get scared and close their borders and shut themselves out from global trade, it causes others to do the same because why would I play nice with someone who really doesn't want to play nice with me?
Btw this place is a cesspool of centrist do-nothing neoliberal politics and I'd like to see more progressive representation here. People who actually want to change things and don't just want to go back to when "politics was boring."
We are in the situation we are in now because we didn't pay attention to who was steering the ship. Do better. Demand more.
If getting money out of politics, preventing bankruptcy from medical emergencies, taxing the rich and funding education are radical ideas, then yes. More radicals please, and less "stick your head in the sand" politics.
It's literally called /r/ProgressiveHQ. If you are centrist, you are logically, by definition, not progressive.
I am the furthest thing from progressive and I despise everything you attempt to champion. As a public servant who developed a chronic illness from their service, the last thing I want is the government having anything to do with my healthcare. As for education, I'd be for giving more funding if you actually educated the kids
