As an aside re: Canadian politics. New Governments don't get elected, old ones are voted out of office. The shelf life is generally 10-15 years and this government has gotten stale. It just so happens the party in position to replace them plans to remove the carbon tax (which hasn't been implemented in any meaningful way) as part of their platform
- snapplebobapple 3y agoThats true but a misinterpretation of the data in my opinion. Old ones are voted out because their policies mismatch the current pain points, which is definitely happening here. Libs were elected on a luxury beliefs platform that isn't compatible with the current state of the economy/interest rate regime/inflation. Enough people have finally realized this to grow disillusioned and change voting patterns.that the libs appear to be a bunch of kleptos and/or incompetent and/or corrupt is speeding up that realization. If the libs had kept the klepto stuff to a less obvious level and adapted the binding parts of their luxury beliefs platform they probably would still be polling a majority and could have kept this going for quite a while longer.
