Canadians right now as Right Wingers take over our provincial governments one by one
Context (in case this post spreads outside of the Canadian side of Tumblr):
Current Ideology of Canadaâs Provincial and Territorial Governments:
Blue = Conservative (Centre Right to Right Wing)
Red = Liberal (Centrists)
Orange = New Democratic Party (NDP) - Centre-Left.
Oh and we have a Federal Election coming up in October and the Conservative Party of Canada is lead by a Social Conservative who opposes LGBTQ rights and Abortion, and who openly fraternalizes with White Supremacists and Islamophobes. đ
Two of those provinces went Conservative (blue) in the last ~11 months, which really does not bode well for the upcoming October 2019 Federal election. Under our current electoral system, First Past The Post (FPTP) the votes are counted from East to West, so the election is decided before the (comparatively more left-leaning) West Coast vote is even counted.
Actually 4 provinces went Conservative in the past year:
Alberta, Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick.
This post really took off, and Iâm pleasantly surprised with the responses of concern from non-Canadians.
Iâm not trying to be an asshole but 90% of the important Canadian issues that me and other Canadian Politics bloggers write about get routinely ignored by everyone on this site.
For those that want to prevent a Conservative hell from taking over Canada, please follow this blog and the other left-leaning Canadian Politics blogs below, and boost our content. We are all trying to prevent to worst of this from happening and countering the current Conservatives already in power, but we need your help.
Its hard for this message to be spread on Tumblr because of how US-centric this site is and how unlikely Canadian content is to be shared by non-Canadians.
