Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I’m very glad I live in Canada.
Unless something happens, so far people are voting for PP because of the carbon tax stuff. people don't want to understand it and want to see the prices at the store cheaper not the refunds at tax time.
that's not a country it's a border
Hahaha
I've heard that y'all have your own far-right, MCGA bullshit to deal with. Do everything you can to stop it. Get involved with as many organizations as you can and get as many people involved as you can. "It'll never happen here" is complete and utter bullshit. Good luck, Northern brethren.
We've already lost that battle sadly. Alberta has Smith (think Marjorie Taylor Greene), the Cons, while refusing to admit climate change is real, and with a leader who spent his entire political career trying to repeal abortion rights/gay rights, have locked away the vote of men with 51%+.
In 2022, 41% of Con voters supported Trump. In 2024, it's increased to 44% (higher than Biden or Harris in both, though.)
In addition, the Canadian Right-Wing's favourite Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, heads up a global 'get Right-Wing governments elected' organization.
So I wish you the best of luck as well, though I fear we are on similar Germany-in-the-1930's path).
Help the women and LGBT people in your life, they're going to need it.
I live in Alberta. Our premier is basically Marjorie Taylor Greene.
The USA screwing up trade never leaves Canada in a good spot. Our prices will go up too. And we're about to suffer the same effect of mass ignorance after the next federal election when the voters elect a populist bigot with no idea how to run a country. We're already suffering it in the provincial governments. Plus the bigots in Canada feel empowered to get loud and violent when the Americans are all doing it. I'm glad not to be living in the USA but we're not looking forward to fun times.
Over 51% of men are voting for Poilivre in the next election. That's across all age groups. We're where we usually are: 5-10 years behind something the US is doing.
I hate to say it but the NDP need to replace Singh with someone more charismatic.
There’s too much Trudeau hate for the Liberals to have a chance. Too many people will be voting “anything but liberal” this election because they blame Trudeau.
Right now conservatives feel like the only other option because there’s also enough racists to not to vote for Singh.
We need another NDP leader like Jack Layton that people will see as a symbol of change or we’ll be following in the Americans footsteps.
Let's be blunt, the last part is why Singh has to be replaced. This guy got us fucking dental care added to our universal healthcare and people fucking shrugged at it. Rural voters won't vote him, that's the 'issue' with him in charge.
So the NDP will be forced to pick a white guy to lead and then they can start wrestling away voters from the Lib and Cons. It sucks, but I guess that's what Canada has decided it is.
EDIT:
Just to be clear, these are who Canadian voters preferred to win the presidency in the US:
Those Con numbers are bleak.
I'm not sure, USA is way too close for comfort
