So I understand he's a Liberal, taking Poilievre's seat after over 20 years? Why did that happen and what are the Canadian liberals like? I'm from the EU and we hear almost nothing about Canadian politics.
Liberals are the center-left party. The seat that as of this comment is being lost is Pierre Poilievre's, who is the leader of the conservative party and generally disliked by anyone left of center.
Center-right, and more prominently so under Carney who has already thrown several progressive causes under the bus. Liberals favour business interests over social interests.
Yeah, you're right. I let the overton window get me
Liberals are corporately controlled
Conservatives are more corporately controlled
The difference is like Apple or Microsoft ... one looks nice and everyone likes them ... the other is more business oriented and everyone puts up with them ... but both are the same corporate core.
I look at it like; Liberals are controlled by the banks, Conservatives are controlled by the energy sector.
Comparable to the US Democrats and not a left alternative?
Yeah, think of them as US democrats who are in favor of universal healthcare.
