Thank you for taking the time to explain this to me. It reminds me a lot of UK politics, even the way the parties are aligned and in their vote shares. It looks quite similar to the polls leading up to the labour win in the last election. I'm wishing the best for a good outcome for Canada. Hoping this trend continues and they push populist politics out of the country.
The Canadian system was initially modeled on the UK system (similar to most commonwealth countries)
Happy to help, awareness of global politics is becoming crucial and we Canadians will need a lot of help so the least I can do is educate others about our politics.
I agree, learning about the UK system and watching the recent election I was noticing how similar things are both in terms of public opinions but also the mechanics of it all.
I hope we will continue to grow closer together, Canada needs the Commonwealth and/or Europe now more than ever.
The good news is, even if Conservatives win (hopefully just a minority...) what I've seen from fellow Canadians this year so far has been inspiring. Stores are adjusting their supply chains to bring in more domestic and non-American international goods due to changes in demand, the number of Canadians crossing the border into USA has plummeted compared to past years, and our military is hitting recruitment targets lol.
I'm too leftist to be too happy about that last point, but it's a sign that we're not going to take the bullying. A Conservative defeat would be inspiring, and I might even let myself feel hopeful at that point.
