One of the wildest elections in Canadian history – massive swings in fortunes, two party leaders losing their seats, the US being a major factor in the Canadian results, NDP reduced to non-party status after being arguably the most effective NDP caucus in history, electoral reform once again seems like a necessity.
In light of yesterday’s election results and the repudiation of Pierre Poilievre’s “Maple MAGA” politics of anger, division and THREE WORD SLOGANS, I’m going to fully copy something I saw on Facebook that makes a lot of sense:
Conservatives: your anger is valid. But it’s being hijacked.
You’re not losing your country because of “woke liberals.”
You’re losing it because the powerful need someone to blame — and they picked “them” instead of themselves.
Here’s how they fooled you:
>1. You feel like you’re being left behind — and you’re not wrong.
Wages suck. Everything costs more. Your job feels disposable. The world moves fast and doesn’t care how hard you work.
That’s real.
But the people who caused it? Aren’t drag queens or gender studies majors.
>2. They gave you a villain: “woke.”
They turned your real pain into a culture war.
Instead of fixing anything, they convinced you the problem is:
• Pronouns
• Trans kids
• College students
• Diversity
Why?
Because outrage is easier to sell, and it points the finger away from them.
>3. You’re angry at liberals because they look like the elite.
They have degrees. They read the news. They live in cities.
But those aren’t the people outsourcing your jobs, jacking up housing prices, or lobbying to keep your wages low.
The real elite are laughing — at all of us.
>4. You’ve been taught to hate what you don’t understand.
Not because you’re dumb.
Because fear is easy to sell.
Fear of immigrants. Of queer people. Of ideas you’ve never encountered.
And every time you get mad at “them,” you’re doing exactly what they want.
And it’s easier to throw hate at those you encounter in your community than billionaires you’ll never meet.
>5. “Woke” isn’t ruining your life — billionaires are.
They’re stripping your benefits, privatizing healthcare, making record profits while you fight each other online about bathrooms.
And while you’re arguing about flags or books, they’re buying your neighborhood.
>6. You’re not conservative anymore — you’re reactive.
You’ve been trained to respond to every issue with rage, sarcasm, or mockery.
Ask yourself: when was the last time you felt hopeful about a policy, a leader, or the future?
Because they don’t want you hopeful. They want you mad.
>7. The truth is: you’ve been lied to.
Not by your neighbors. Not by “the woke mob.”
But by the people who need your vote, your loyalty, and your outrage — to stay rich and powerful while your life stays hard.
>8. You deserve better.
You deserve healthcare.
You deserve a living wage.
You deserve to retire without fear.
You deserve truth, not distraction.
But to get that, you have to stop fighting the people who aren’t your enemy.
They told you the culture war was about values.
It’s not. It’s about control.
The more distracted you are, the less you’ll notice who’s robbing you.
And right now, you’re willing to hand them the keys to your poverty and cheering any libtards while you do it.
I’m praying for a miracle tomorrow if the Liberals, who were like 20 or 30 points down on the Conservatives can come back to win in light of a new leader who seems to be “made for the moment” and some wild threats by Donald Trump.
