    Every election in 2024 has had incumbent parties lose vote share or lose elections. Canada is going the same way.

    Also the current governing Liberals are center to center-right by European standards.

      That’s concerning. Maybe as the US starts locking up progressives in concentration camps, the influx of refugees will drag Canadian politics to the left?

        That would be nice. But historically Canada has been content to be slightly leftward of the USA and to congratulate itself for it. If Mar-A-Gulago comes to pass, Canada will probably be happy with some intimidation and silencing of progressives. At least it’s not USA!
