    This was the post war era a completely different reality to today. Canada asserted itself aggressively under Pearson, then proceeded to destroy its military for three generations until starting to rebuild it now. But at no point ceded sovereignty to the US because it was a stabe win win relationship until Trump.

    The NDP basically shot themselves in the face. Eby's election night speech was basically "thank fuck I can step down, I'm tired".

    The whole vote was a gigantic clusterfuck, to the point that I don't think it's all that reasonable to say people voted in support of the cons in any way shape or form. They voted against the gongshow NDP, and the NDP made it so that the only alternative was the shitty chaotic conservative party, that didn't even have a 'permanent' leader. Eby controlled the starting pistol for the race, tried to start it when he had no opponent at the starting line, and then proceeded to fucking lose the race.

    That's the left wing / NDP being giant collosal bellends.
