    Then the actual Conservatives aren’t (which TBH is a completely valid interpretation).

    Even if we rule out the Liberals, it still leaves the Bloc and Greens. This community is big on the NDP, but it doesn’t seem like that’s because of policy.

      What are you saying? I don’t understand your point.

      First, the current Conservatives have become a far right moral conservative party that’s against equal rights, encourage traditional gender roles, and are against women’s reproductive rights. While the Liberals have become the new progressive conservatives. (Fiscally conservative, but support equal rights, etc)

      The current conservative party was formed by the merging on the old Reform and Progressive Conservative parties. We’re basically back to that time, sans the old true Liberal option basically.

      And with Avi Lewis, the NDP are going to be supporting the workers and the middle class and become a much more progressive and left wing party.

        Basically just that “NDP once again proving to be the only ally the working class has” is wrong. (Emphasis own)

        I mean, that’s a sample of the things you most disagree with. If you look at their own channels it’s not what they talk about the most, though. It’s typical fascist stuff. Down with the educated elite, more money for ordinary white Anglos by cutting off greedy minorities. Even if it’s horrible, their voters are more predominantly working class than any other party’s.
