why is the far right attracting minorities and LGBTQ? are they just stupid?
Yes, they are stupid.
But malicious and stupid people can be of any skin colour or sexual orientation or gender identity.
Trump got a lot of Jewish votes, but that wasn't even most of them. The entire USA would be blue if only Jews voted. This is the problem with leftists. You don't understand averages or statistics. You don't even care to.
He still got 10% more than he did in 2020.
He doesn't have to have a majority of their votes to win as he didn't really win by a landslide as it is commonly bandied about on the right.
A couple of % points is all it takes.
Pierre and the Conservatives suffered because Pierre focused on the carbon tax rather than immigration for the election. He was too lame to focus on the actual key issue in Canada, and that's what failed to mobilize votes for him and his party.
Pierre lost because he was a glorified sloganeer and nothing much else.
People favoured him because of Trudeau performing poorly in the last 2 years, so even liberals like me were reluctantly considering voting for Pierre.
But once Trudeau stepped down, and Carney announced the carbon tax would be repealed, Pierre had nothing to sloganeer about.
Even Pierre knows that while advocating for reduced immigration, that Canada thrives on immigration.
Which is why even if he comes to power, which he won't, he isn't going to make your dreams of zero immigration come true.
You will see this issue come to a much more dramatic head in Canada because of this failure of his.
No it won't.
We aren't the US.
Conservatives do not have the numerical superiority.
I said this to another poster, Canada welcomes about 350-400K permanent residents per year, who will become citizens, predominantly in the GTA and Vancouver in 3 years.
Even with reduced immigration targets the numbers are close.
Additionally you have, already existing temporary residents becoming PRs and then becoming citizens in half the time (as their temporary residency counts towards time spent in Canada).
Not all of them will vote Liberal, but with all the far right wing racism they are facing, most will be compelled to vote for the Liberals, atleast reluctantly.
They are all especially concentrated in the GTA, and GTA is a Liberal stronghold.
So the further right the CPC goes, the further right the US goes, the better the chances for the Liberals.
Any liberal government will further invite more immigration, even if they reduce targets.
So you do the math.
TLDR: Welcome to your 4th liberal term and get ready for the 5th. lmfao.
Also, never forget that Carney debased himself repeatedly in front of Trump, despite running on the opposite, and got NOTHING for it.
Carney didn't debase himself.
He stood his ground, declared an end to economic integration with the US, and is now pursuing expansion of bilateral trade with other nations.
Like a strong leader would do.
