Canada

Living in Alberta is like having a really awful older brother that everybody relates to you to the point where you just accept that's how everybody assumes you are.

Never been prouder to live next to quebec

How are we in a situation where ALL of the federal party leaders are extremely unpopular going into an election.

Because our political system is absolutely crammed with career ~~criminals~~ politicians who's only goals are pump this country for every penny.

It’s called Simpson’s Paradox. When you split people into groups each group can have a favourable rating towards a politician but when you combine all the groups you can have the opposite trend where all politicians are viewed negatively.

And the Bloc fights for Quebec's interests and for the respect of provincial powers and in the end it helps all provinces.

You're all very welcome.

aren't they pretty staunch bloc supporters rather than lib or con

Pretty easy choice these days

AFAIK Quebec tends not to elect many Conservatives - probably the fewest per capita in Canada provincially/territorially, per the headline. They elect a lot of Liberal and Bloc candidates. My conjecture (which is irrelevant in days like this when the Libs poll pitifully) is that how many Liberals Quebec (which, like Ontario, has a ton of seats) elects, as opposed to Bloc, has a pretty sizeable indirect effect on who forms governments between the Liberals and Conservatives. I should add that I'm ignorant of where the Bloc is on the political spectrum, so my 'Liberals and Bloc split votes' hypothesis is blind in that respect

The Bloc's goal is to sneak in a few seats to represent Quebec's interests federally. Nobody is voting for the Bloc expecting Yves-François Blanchet to become PM. Quebec is just different enough from the RoC that having a party dedicated to itself makes sense.

Quebec also has the cheapest car insurance, phone bills, housing. They have political donation contribution limits capped at $100 a year and they list your name and which party you support politically on elections Quebec. They have areas that actually affordable for the minimum wage. They are the province that’s the furthest away from a 2-party system as the Quebecois actually give the smaller parties a chance of government unlike the rest of Canada where people tend to worship the 2 establishment political parties no matter.

It’s no wonder conservatives complain they speak French because it is the best protection against fascist propaganda.

Quebec actually has some of the most forgiving policies for immigration in the country. Speaking French is a big plus and makes it much easier to get in, but a lot of people go through Quebec to end up elsewhere in Canada.

In general I think having a majority government is awful so I do hope we continue to have a minority government.

While PP would indeed be a guard of sorts it'd still be great to have a non-cons PM.

Trump hasn't liked Trudeau ever since the handshake.

I'm okay with our 'Governor' calling their President all sorts of subservient titles if it means the SOCON pieces-of-shit don't get a whiff of thinking they're important.
