      With your wife’s experience, you may be one of the lucky few who actually stand a chance of getting in.

      We have a real problem with abuse of the TFW program being used to recruit wage-suppressing fraudulent McJobs to profit franchisees and business owners, businesses, and other interest groups. Maybe thats a good lead haha🫠

      A certainty.

      Liberals have been in power for a decade at this point (5th-6th longest term in history depending on when exactly the election happens), and have picked up a ton of baggage, from corruption scandals (some more manufactured than others) , oil pipeline flubs that left everyone mad, blackface scandal, political interference, broken promises of electoral reform, even a divorce. They currently hang on to an extremely weak minority with the NDP. The only reason there hasn’t already been an election is that the NDP is too broke to put up a real fight.

      Anyone right of centre will literally foam at the mouth at the mention of Trudeau, anyone left of centre is disappointed and disinterested. The NDP is likely to pick up seats, but they have never held power and the current leader is seen as pretty weak, they don’t stand a good chance of gaining power.

      the conservative party is polling with a 20point lead right now, look at this map. Furthermore they have been taking a hard right turn over the last few years to avoid losing out to a far-right party that has emerged, the new leader poilievre is a populist and the furthest right I have ever seen a viable Canadian candidate. He’s also french speaking, which has traditionally been a strength of the liberals and weakness of the CPC. He is actively campaigning on reducing trans folks (and especially trans children) access to healthcare, ending the carbon tax, reducing immigration and has been dog whistling hard about restricting abortion.

      The question is not If he takes power, but rather how quickly we can rebuild left wing power and how much can we mitigate the damage. Personally I hope Greens pick up a few seats, liberals get their shit together within a year and no-confidence Mr.PP. He mostly won’t be winning because he’s popular but rather his opponents are politically radioactive.

        Oh, it’s all over. By the end of his 4 years, he will just choose to stay and elect his replacement. Voting is done.

      Pretty much inevitable at this point. The Liberal party has been in power for a while now, and Canadians start to get antsy and vote out the incumbent party after a while. The only real question is how conservative is the Conservative party going to be when they get in.

        Yea this is a question of damage control. My wife is worried about them attempting to remove abortion access in lock step, and now she isn’t wrong to be afraid. Populism is toxic.

        Also, all of the disinformation campaigns that worked to destabilize the US were vindicated by this election result, so you can expect similar interference in the Canadian election next year.

        I wonder whether the Trump win down South might make folks more reluctant to have all Conservative

        1. Canadian Federal government
        2. Several Provincial governments
        3. US gov

        All at the same time.

        I mean for the kind of voter who is interchangeable between conservative and liberal (not people who are bona fide right-wing or left-wing voters because a principled person with an actual political orientation doesn’t flip so frivolously or unpredictably and they sure as hell vote reliably)

      Its gonna sound undriven but all I’ve truly ever wanted is to be safe and okay and able to emancipate myself from unproductive conflict and others undue influence.

      Have basically succeeded with that so now I have begun my search for a new purpose. TBD ha

    have you got one of those vending machine pizzas yet?

    If so, how was it?

    I think… I think that’s all I need to know about Canada right now.

      Actually hate the stuff, not into it as a flavor and as a rule I generally avoid natural and artificial sweeteners in general and added sugars wherever possible

      Can you give them (and me) a house 😂?
