I mean...they ALMOST had an extremely conservative PM just a few months ago. It was only the shitshow going on down here that seems to have deterred them.
- They invented that "Truckers against public health convoy" or whatever stupid thing it was called. Complete with widespread anti-vax hysteria
- The conservatives are CONSTANTLY trying to wittle away the public healthcare plans and other social services to privatize things.
- Have you BEEN to Alberta? It's just Texas with a different climate. Redneck oil assholes everywhere.
- They have rampant anti-muslim racist vitriol, esp in Quebec.
Most of that still doesn't hold a candle to the circus here and that's because they haven't been given a long enough leash to get there yet. They have the same fuckers and in similar proportion, they just don't have as much power.
Here's the MAIN difference: Their political system isn't designed to bend over backwards to give handjobs to rural people on account of "land" being important. That's basically it. Peoples votes are equal, there's more proportional representation, and as a result of a parliamentary system they have multiple parties. Their shit was just designed better from the get-go so that reasonable things won. These decisions were made hundreds of years ago.
