Conservatives are maple maga and we should all remember this next election.
🍁True North Strong and Free 🍁
Yeah, not really understanding what they’re conserving here…
Canadian conservatives vote conservative because they’re conservatives and they’re voting. It has nothing to do with ideology and everything to do with conditioning. Much like republicans.
That’s true. The US Republicans seem to be riddled with people that are anti the republic in both its founding and general concepts of what a republic is.
The Regressive Cut-Services Party.
It’s just a dead brand killed off by Mulroney in the 80s.
The current party is just a mix of Western Right -wing MAGA types that were the Reform, Alliance parties out of Alberta.
Did you even click the article. How is province first maple Maga.
And, as usual…Conservatives can’t seem to decide whose side they’re on.
Conservatives are on the side of fascism like always.
I’m sure that’s part of it but think it’s more that they just have to be contrary. They have no policy position on anything except to disagree with whatever Carney is doing. If he capitulated and signed a crappy trade deal they’d be saying he’s weak and should have stood his ground.
In this case being province first is fascism. Only on Lemmy.
They love speaking with both sides of their mouths.
If you grew up in the more political churches you’ll recognize the coded language they use. It’s sounds like benign religious platitudes but they specifically allude to stories and concepts with charged connotations.
It’s scarier than people expect… https://streamable.com/2yj2tj (link expires after 48 hours so download if you care)
They’re only ever on their own side.
Not all of them. Some sure loves to vote against their own interests.
I’d say most.
Unless, you’re a rich, white, cis, straight, male bigot.
Some sure loves to vote against their own interests.
Pierre Poilievre threw his own father under the bus fighting gay marriage.

That’s his father. It doesn’t affect Peter. They’re two different people, so why should he care?
(If you need a sarcasm tag on this, I weep for your teachers)
Peter Rabbithair.
Actually, I think it’s “hare hair” (“rabbit hair” would be “Poillapin”).
they are always on the side of the USA.
That’s who pays the bills…
Lolol read the article. Conservatives are equally province first and country first.
Uh huh. And do you understand what that means, in the context of a trade war with the US?
So you’re just moving goal posts after implying that being province first is unpatriotic? You’re just being crazy, like great job enforcing the idea that Lemmy is full of nutjobs compared to the already biased Reddit.
Oh. You’re from Reddit? I guess that makes sense. You should stay there, man. It’s probably more your pace.
Conservatives. Should be called the Disagreement Party: Disagree, til death. Your death.
Danielle Smith is a traitorous piece of shit and should be rotting in a fucking cell for the rest of her miserable and pathetic life
How do you really feel though
“I love my country so much that I support a financial attack on it!”
I’m glad there were enough thoughtful people to vote for sanity and not let maple maga win last time, saw the shitshow in usa and chose wisely. One system tries to help the majority, based on data and what works irl in other places to help the most people per cost, all boats rise and such, and the other system rules by what the leader says, don’t question what they say, don’t fact check, obey or punishment. Obviously Canada goes with the healthy system most of the time and passed healthcare, LGBTQ+ rights and ended cannabis prohibition for the whole country, while usa is held back by the unhealthy systems regularly and the damage shows.
Conservatives are province first. Not really a gotcha compared to headline.
EDIT: being upset by my comment is a sign of a low ability to think critically. “Lemmy users try not to replicate Reddit echo chamber speed run any %.”

I’ll gladly vote conservative again until the liberals quit trying to criminalize me for property that I’ve legally purchased.
Quit trying to pin mass-shootings on folks who legally obtain firearms when it has been proven time and time again that folks who perpetrate these crimes obtain their firearms illegally.
Nobody find it suspicious that the Tumbler Ridge school shooting was swept under the rug and forgotten about? Even the anti-gun lobby wanted information of the firearms used but alas the RCMP felt the need to keep the information tucked away because it didn’t fit the narrative the feds were pushing.
Not sure what the Liberal party, or guns, have to do with this article.
Just move the fuck to Florida. We don’t need more stupid in Canada. Ecole Polytechnique and the Quebec City mosque shootings were both with legally purchased guns.
We got a House of Commons and Parliament full of stupid, people with poor attitudes such as yourself are a yet another good reason not to vote liberal.
If the province of Quebec wants to restrict the purchase and sale of firearms then so be it, the federal government is responsible for upholding the criminal code and so far have failed to do so with the catch and release system they have in place now.
Thank you, PC intern.
It’s fun the tangents you go on. I hope it all makes sense to you.
Makes sense to a lot of people, just not any of those who use Lemmy. I’m not the only person tired of the Liberal government, but alas orange-man bad so people are scared to vote for any other party.
There’s more than two parties.
Green and NDP side with the liberals on this topic, if there were a 4th choice that has a chance of winning sure, I’ll vote for them.
That’s just not true, the NDP went after illegal guns and mental health.
Even as far as to increase border security.
