Pfft. As time goes on it seems that Trudeau and PP are not that far apart in who they love and obey.

Don't both-sides those two parties. Learn the difference between 0% beneficial to Canadians and then everything above that.

The reds aren't awesome, but until we fix our voting they're the least-worse we have, and by a significant margin.

Genuine question, why do you think Red better than orange?

Both-siding is when someone says both sides have a point to make.

I'm saying both sides are showing very similar shittiness.

Not only that. It's also false-equivalenting them.

It confuses me, honestly. It's not like the liberals gained any voters in Alberta by spending billions on the construction on this pipeline to keep them happy instead of just denying it's construction which would have gained them voters in the provinces that may actually be swayed by their actions.

There is literally no reason for any political party except conservatives to do anything for central Canada because there's no way anyone there will ever vote for anyone else, other than a few people in Calgary or Edmonton maybe.
