      No. Canada is centre-left and backed by mid left. The right and far right parties will never have enough seats to go without challenge. Most of the authoritarian parties are far right fringe parties that will like see no more than a handful of seats.

        You should take another look at what the CPC is focusing on. At their convention this month they voted on what to focus on as a party; two anti-trans policies passed the policy for affordable housing did not. Is the CPC as far right as the US Republican party, no they’re not, but Poilievre is happy to court people who are. Also he won’t answer non-vetted questions which is a different issue but still rubs me the wrong way.

          And more horrifyingly: polling might not mean much this far out, but right now, the CPC is leading. Big. Skippy is terrifying, and terrifyingly close to power.

            Only you guys can help your democracy internally. Never fail to vote, get your friends voting and obviously never vote for conservatives.
