   Lol, someone should send the Canadian Liberal Party a brief synopsis of how a US election played out where the extremely unpopular President (Prime Minister) waited until the last possible moment to drop out and the ruling apparatchiks said "it's too late to late for anyone vote on this we're just going to pick a new candidate because fuck you" in "the most important election ever" against a wholly compromised fascist, because it's like I'm watching a fucking re-run and this won't end well...

     Can't wait to be extradited back home for thought crimes against the Führer because bougie ass collaborator liberals everywhere in the Pig Empire only know one move and that move is "how's my ass taste; you little people have no choice."

     GreenSkyOverMe (Monika) repeated this.

     Me, but in the early 1930's: "Shit, this is starting to look bad. So far I've predicted every step of this Nazi takeover, I better start looking for someplace safer to operate from; I know, Austria will be perfect..."

     (Dear Canadians who think I'm nuts: please spare me the incredulous replies, I heard every dipshit American liberal tell me I was overreacting because "that CAN'T happen HERE" too and I know how that story ended already. Your assumption that you live in a far better country than you really do isn't exceptional or even remarkable, everyone thinks that. Meanwhile if you leave your 3 largest cities, you'll find that fascism has already won everywhere else and you're surrounded by nazis.)

     (Furthermore, if you want to know how a victorious fascist movement in Canada could do far more damage, at a much faster rate than nazis in most other Pig Empire nations, I would advise you to read up on something called the "Notwithstanding Clause" and why you don't *actually* have a constitution. And then consider which party and what type of people are actually running the majority of your Provinces, right now. In some ways, fully nazifying Canada will be easier than it has been elsewhere.)

     (I can assure you, if *I* had understood the Notwithstanding Clause before I fled here, I'd have picked someplace else. But it's kind of Canada's dirty little secret that needs to be obscured to maintain the illusion of democratic forms and a free society; so you don't put it in the vacation brochures.)

     every time i think about the notwithstanding clause i go into a fugue state and start searching for last-minute plane tickets, yyz to the middle of the pacific ocean, fucking anywhere.

     other countries have shady or ambiguous consitutional language that gives a free hand to politicians — canada decided to skip the waffling and get straight to the point, "do whatever ya want lads."

     @caspercdn *shrugs* when both parties run as fascists, fascists win.

     Can’t agree entirely. The problem in the US (and maybe Canada) is they don’t want to vote for a woman. It’s a shame that my take awhile to over come.

     @csstrowbridge @AnarchoNinaWrites The idea that the Liberal Party of Canada thinks of progressives as anything other than a threat that needs to be driven into the sea, is the kind of laugh that people pay comedians to make happen.

     The LPC would rather you vote Conservative than dignify the progressives; it's why Canadians have the status quo they have today.

     @PatrickoftheG @csstrowbridge I was literally living in Ontario the day Cathleen Wynn said in slightly different words that "I know we're not going to win and the only hope of stopping the proto-fascist Conservative Party and Doug Ford is to vote NDP, but you should vote Liberal anyway" so...

     no disagreement here.

     Polievre spent $50,000 to avoid debates in his leadership bid and the Conservative Party spent over $8 million in advertising in 2023 alone. Even the conservatives know he is not a good leader.

     The Liberals need to get aggressive in their campaigning and excite the progressives. I've actually called their HQ in November after the election in the States to take to them about that. They said they were going to fight when the election is called, but they need to be faster.
