Exclusive: Baroness Chakrabarti said the latest arrest demonstrates the dangers of the ongoing proscription of Palestine Action, which is being challenged in the courts
I fear we’re underestimating the conservative base of a lot of regions in this country, and how shitty the electoral system is. The LPC wins because it the least evil of all the other choices. They’re still liberals, in the “corporations and money first” sense. It’s not a good place to be for a democracy.
Plus, the provincial governments of the two most populous are both currently conservative. Even if the CAQ is not named that way. And there’s Alberta.
My family and their friends in the countryside are “against Trump” but kind of admire the policies. They defend themselves and say they think Trump is stupid, but they are still misinformed about immigration, the economy, social issues, and spew the same general lines than Republicans or Conservatives. They’re not! But you know, those immigrants and those pronouns these day. And those protesters should find a job! Oh and of you have nothing to hide anyway.
We are indeed on thin ice, and your revelations about the electoral system are sound. Although I’m not hot-to-trot about the Liberal party, their tendency to favour “business and corporations” sometimes results in a better outcome simply because of their humanist streak IMO - whatever quantity it represents within their part & voter base is often enough. The healthcare system is best representative of this, as I’ve seen/heard several times their assertion that cuts to it produce worse (and more expensive) outcomes down the road. In a kind of fortuitous way, their determined efforts to manage federal/provincial resources without stripping out the floor in budget cuts winds up producing a much more personally manageable situation for the electorate by furnishing critical public services unheard of in the United States.
