Canada is great.

Trudeau has objectively not made the dollar worse though.

Someone sold you a bill of goods friend.

Ah, you’re one of those.

In 2015, when Harper was in office, the dollar was worth what it is now.

The dollar is back around where it was when Trudeau took office. In fact the last big collapse from parity happened under the last CPC prime minister, in his last year of office, when Pierre was in cabinet.

But how do they do the brainwashing? Water? Subliminal TV messages?

Ugh, now all I can afford is “not me” to install them. Not experts that’s for sure.

(this is not a joke, not really).

No, I have a lot of experience in liberal organizations and they are not, despite the memes, closer to conservatism than progressivism. It honestly makes me feel like most people on lemmy have never really worked with liberal groups.

The major differences between a liberal and a social democrat or progressive comes down largely to deciding when a market has failed and when to use government intervention, both Liberals and progressives are fine with intervention, only the threshold changea. We want the same things, mostly, but disagree on how to get them.

Conservatives, philosophical Conservatives anyway, won’t typically even consider such a thing, and often do not even want the same things as Liberals or progressives.

This both sides same stuff just hurts progressive causes, because it sours mushy people with little to no real philosophy on voting for liberal parties. Those people flip flop back to Conservatives when they get angry and we lose the progress we’ve made, as is about to happen in Canada.

I know that conflating Liberals and Conservatives is practically lemmys official pass time, but I have to point out they are not the same.

I give every year when they send out that ad. “If everyone gives the same as , we’d be done in an hour”
