I haven't used Reddit in a while, but back when I did, r/canada was alt-right and I doubt it had real Canadians on it. It seemed like a Russian troll farm like r/the_donald. The actual Canadian subreddit seemed to be r/onguardforthee.

You need to get out of your bubble of you think /r/onguardforthee is more representative of the Canadian population than /r/canada, and if you think /r/canada is alt-right.

I personally don't read or watch anything that isn't put out by the CBC, which has a mandate to be politically neutral.

That may be an official mandate, but it definitely not followed. Prime example is when sued the CPC during the election (which eventually was tossed by a judge). How many times have they sued other political parties during elections?

Males worldwide are swinging hard to the right. It's concerning.

Yes, the problem is the men. Thanks.

To be honest, my level of trust in the CPC isn't all that greater than the LPC... marginally more at best.

From Progressive perspective the NDP is preventing a bad government turning even worse.

This is absolute bullshit, the NDP have been Liberal enablers since 2019. If they were actually serious about stopping the Liberals Singh wouldn't be voting with them in the HoC.

I'm surprised this is this far down.

Yes, there's several social changes that need to happen, but there's people that will committee crime regardless. Those people need to be kept separate from society.

I'm not certain the NDP has done more than the CPC, but of they have it's been outweighed by propping up all the other bullshit of this government.

How many times now has Singh chastised the Liberals but supported the very same policies anyways when it actually came down to votes in Parliament?

My point about it being the CPC's job to oppose is that it's not their job to come up with ideas.

Edit: Basically, my view is that although the NDP have done a few positive things (as have the Liberals) they've been a net negative on the country since 2019 whereas the CPC net is basically zero because the odd few things they've tried to do other than oppose, both positive and negative, don't pass in Parliament. IMHO the biggest positive thing that has happened since 2019 the CPC and NDP (and Bloc) voted together on against the Liberals: when they stopped the Liberals from assuming unaccountable emergency power right at the beginning of the pandemic... It's too bad this alliance didn't continue.

You said that the NDP has done more for Canadians than the CPC, so since the CPC's job is to oppose the government can you point out when they failed to do that to the detriment of Canadians?

Yeah, I understand why you asked what you did, but the issue is that it accepts the premise that guns are the issue in the first place. That's how the Liberals have been able to push gun control (and other policies, such as their justice reforms in favour of criminals): by placing the blame on things rather than people.
