Yeah. It confuses the hell out of foreigners when we're angry at the Liberal party for mocking climate change and blocking gay marriage legislation.

They are actually our "right" major party. Labor is our "left".

It's all pretty glorious. I can't look away. We're losing our Treasurer too, I believe. Good riddance.

See, our Liberals (Grits) used to be centre, now they're right-wing, and the Tories are far-right, because the actual Tories, which were just right-wing, merged with the far-right Reform Alliance way back when. The NDP started out being extreme left-wing (they were, no word of a lie, the Canadian Communist Federation), and now they're pretty much centre-right. You would think the Greens would be the far-left, which the leader pretty much is, but the Green Party platform seems the most centrist of the bunch. The Greens have maaaaaaaaaaaybe a 50% chance of picking up three seats in the election, but there's a better chance of pigs flying through the frozen wastelands of hell, than the Greens getting a majority vote, never mind the confidence of the House. Worse, our GG is the most partisan Tory GG since, like, the year eighteen-oh-dot, I don't even know, so he might just laugh in their faces, even if by some miracle, every single eligible voter turned out and ticked Green.

Also if said voters weren't turned away from the polls. Half a million voters WERE turned away from the polls ("legitimately") in the 2008 election, but they basically covered that up with everyone shrieking over the robocalls thing, which didn't even affect a fraction of that number. In the meantime, a significant portion of otherwise-eligible voters have lost their civic addresses between 2012-2015, thanks to "superbox" programs forced on/by/through Canada Post. Guess what you need to vote?

Your ballot, AND two pieces of ID/documentation with your civic address on it. So. Yeah.

TL;DR: Nobody knows what any political party really is anymore, and all the parties are laughing all the way to the bank anyway....

That sounds exhausting!

I do not envy you all.

Heh, it's my entertainment. Can't decide whether it's because I'm a masochist, or because I'm ever-so-slightly insane. (Both. It's probably both.)
