Canadian Federal Politics

Pierre Poilievre wants to subvert democracy by invoking the notwithstanding clause of Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms  in order to advance a draconian, unconstitutional, law-and-order agenda. I know that the Liberals aren’t perfect and that the vastly-increased capital gains tax will affect a lot of people, including people who think they’re a lot further away from the top 1% than they are. However, there’s no way this joker’s party is better. Despite protestations of speaking and acting for “the people,” the Conservatives will probably get a majority in 2025 with only around 38% of the popular vote. The people want dental care, pharmacare, affordable housing, and a lower cost of living, but Poilievre has no useful plans whatsoever and won’t be able to deliver anything that most people actually want.
