    A society where we choose to kneecap ourselves every few years because we allow people to raise ignorant bigots seems less sustainable than one where we outlaw right wing ideologies.

      You do realize that 40% of the country just voted for the right-wing? That many provinces are governed by right-wingers.

      How would you ban this, short of an authoritarian state?

        40% of the country voted out the incumbent.

        The same thing that happens whenever people don’t like their personal finances.

        I also think it’s a shame that there was no leftist party available for people to turn to when they want to break the status quo

          Trump didnt sway the election in any way?

          I figured people were afraid Pierre was going to side with Alberta and not do anything about Trumps tariffs on manufacturing. Since Alberta could easily survive 10% tariffs, while the east could never survive 25%.
