        I’ve no love for the Catholic church and Canadian mistreatment of First Nations, but what does this have to do with US bullying Canada despite long standing good relations between the two countries?

        That would be the christian faith, not the Canadian government.

        Also the US did far worse and has never even tried to talk about it.

We in c/Neoliberal support:

  • Free trade and competitive markets
  • Immigration
  • YIMBYism – ‘yes in my backyard’-ism
  • Carbon taxes
  • Internationalism and supranational governance – e.g. the EU, UN, NATO, IMF
  • LGBTQ+ rights
  • Democracy, human rights, civil liberties and due process

Neoliberals can be found in many political parties and we are not dogmatic supporters of specific parties. But we tend to find ourselves agreeing more often with parties that espouse liberal values, internationalism and centrist economics, such as the Democrats in the US, Liberal Democrats in the UK, FDP in Germany, Renaissance/MoDem in France, the Liberal Party in Canada, and so on.
