New Canadian Politics Thread

Because the extreme position in Canada and has very little support.

And… especially in Quebec… for that issue. Game over. And the Conservatives know it.
Do they, though? It seems to me that ever since the CPC started being funded by US dark money (which originates in Russia) they are leaning into the American style culture war stuff. They want their Roe v Wade moment to provide red meat for the base. And let's not forget about the woke coffee cup lids. That's just Canadian for gas stoves.
 
With Liberal governments it's obviously a non starter, and with Harper his entire philsophy of governing was that he needed to keep a leash on his nutjobs if he wanted to maintain power. He was right.

Poliviere doesn't appear to feel the same and seems more interested in structural changes to Canada than holding on to power through policy management.
Poilievre is a Christofascist so he wants more than merely a 4 year mandate to govern. He wants to turn Canada into an evangelical Christian hellscape.
 



I’ve noted this many times before in recent years, but there’s been a coordinated & concerted effort from Postmedia, even up to a year before he ran for the leadership, to rebrand Poilievre from a dorky Ben Shapiro wannabe to a cool, serious mainstream politician.

Maddeaux was definitely one of the Postmedia columnists that enthusiastically took part in that effort, so it’s hilarious to see it bite her in the ass, instead of ending up as she no doubt expected with the sweet sweet payoff of an MP’s salary.
 
Considering he himself is pro choice I assume you can back this up.
Poilievre isn't anything. He's whatever he needs to be to get what he wants. His personal opinion about abortion is immaterial. If someone he cares about ever needs one he knows he can get it for them. But if it serves his political ends to ban the practice for everyone else he'll do it.

Trump got Roe v Wade overturned but you just know he's paid for an abortion or three over the years.
