Nobody could have predicted the political fortunes or the Liberal party. This will be written about in political science textbooks as the craziest comeback.
They probably aren’t sad . But it’s a tad pathetic to come back & reply to a posting from 2023
Pathetic ?
Canadians can go on about how some Americans are nuts , but we have a few bat shit crazy ones up here
Had to. They thought they were right and they weren't. With a thing as important as making immigrants feel like shit and pitching the country further right.
Pathetic to you. Vitally important to me.
Almost everyone predicted a conservative government purely because of historical records. In Canada we typically go through political cycles alternating between Liberal and conservative governments. The results had very little to do with Canada and much more to do with the US. The conservatives would do much better is they voted for a more centrist candidate but leadership races are determined by the hardcore conservatives who favour more right leading leaders. The reality is that both the Conservative Party had they been elected and current liberal government will likely have very similar immigration policies. This current government appears to be a more blue liberal government (partially why it was elected) and due to the economy and population sentiment there is likely to be a tightened immigration policy. No government was ever going to pause immigration. The previous government’s immigration policies were irresponsible and did not actually benefit immigrants and many temporary residents and created a lot of harm on various levels. Those who settled in Canada in the past 20 years have been some of the harshest critics. I say this as a Liberal voter who is pro-immigration.
