In Context, the Liberals won a surprise victory at 40% in 2015 which means they are at a stronger support range, especially among millenials. The Conservatives only got 31% while the Left-Wing NDP got 16% of the vote. Many Canadians voiced outrage over the Liberal government granting Khadir, a canadian citizen, who spent 10 years at Guantanamo Bay and an apology for wrongful treatment but the aftermath hasn't changed the opinion of the government. Approval is uniform across the country except for the Prairies, including Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan but in Atlantic Canada, Ontario, Quebec and parts of BC, the Liberals would still crush the rivals thanks to a strong economy that is "picking up steam" The results confirm that this is a new era for Canadian politics where the government's performance is constantly compared to Donald Trump and leaves Conservatives in a complicated situation, who had just elected their new unknown leader, Andrew Scheer. Businessman Kevin O'Leary who was supposed to be Canada's answer to Trump shockingly dropped out of the Conservative race when he was leading the poll to win.. Very few Canadians also do NOT want a Canadian Version of Trump or even a Trump-lite and are not willing to try for one either. It is apparent that Liberals in America are having a hard time reaching out to voters down south but up north, Liberals are riding high across the country.. Are you surprised that Canada does NOT want a Trump like leader?

A New Poll was released on Justin Trudeau and the Liberals which shows that they would STILL win MAJORITY government with 43% of the vote despite giving 10 MILLION to Omar Khadr which seemed to have "outraged" voters but didn't affect their opinion of the party either. Pretty sure this decision has nothing to do with that. Full Throttle posted... especially among millenials. Given that young people are generally more liberal before growing wise to the ways of the world, hardly any surprise. This generation more than any other has been shielded and nannied which makes it a bit worse. Amusingly, the generation to follow them has allegedly taken a look at Millennials and rejected their vapid values. Reports suggest that it might be the first generation of young people in US history to favor conservatism so good job, Millennials! Full Throttle posted... The results confirm that this is a new era for Canadian politics It's really not. Full Throttle posted... Are you surprised that Canada does NOT want a Trump like leader? I'm mostly surprised that they'd want a leader like Trudeau. I know I sure wouldn't. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ... Copied to Clipboard!

Are you surprised that Canada does NOT want a Trump like leader? The general Canada bashing that americans seem to enjoy has never made any sense to me, they've made consistently better choices and have a better economy and quality of life, yet americans just can't let it go with them-is it jealousy? --- Mod me?

they've made consistently better choices and have a better economy and quality of life While the first part of this statement is laughable and the second is debatable, it's likely because Canada, like many other socialist utopias that have a shitload of problems that lie beneath their pie-in-the-sky ideals, relies heavily on the US to make their way of life possible. I personally have nothing against Canada and would love to travel there someday though. --- Miami Dolphins | Portland Trailblazers | San Francisco Giants I won't say a thing, because the one who knows best is you. ...

Full Throttle posted...Are you surprised that Canada does NOT want a Trump like leader? O rly? Is that why Canada's per capita GDP is so much lower than the US? And why Canada needs to pass laws to protect its entertainment sector? That's not getting into its needlessly politically correct culture.

America's GDP is not proportionately larger than Canada's in terms of working population... or is it? You have, what, 100x the population? Where's 100x the GDP?

Like what? Are you referring to the CRTC? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_cultural_protectionism But yes, CRTC is one aspect. http://crtc.gc.ca/eng/tv_radio.htm About TV and Radio in Canada Canada needs a strong and diverse broadcasting system. We work to ensure that Canadians have access to high-quality Canadian programming in two ways: Each part of the broadcasting system must contribute to creating and presenting Canadian programming; Broadcasting distributors must make carrying Canadian TV programming services a priority. CRTC rules ensure that most of the programming services offered by cable and satellite companies are Canadian. Adam Buckley (ADoseOfBuckley), a Youtube personality who works at a Canadian radio station, frequently brings up Canada's protectivist laws which mandate a certain amount of time be allotted to "Canadian entertainment" (defined by 4 characteristics, where... iirc either 3 or 4 have to be met). Given the rules, Canada has more in common with China -- another authoritarian leftist nation -- than the US. acesxhigh posted... Better than an American prison at the very least Kek. The point was that you could get into Canadian prisons a lot easier than American ones, given all of the laws against free speech, etc, in Canada. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ...

Kek. The point was that you could get into Canadian prisons a lot easier than American ones, given all of the laws against free speech, etc, in Canada. Canada's population: 36 million Canada's federal/provincial prison population: 40,147 (139 per 100,000). If you go by federal (any sentence over 24 months must be served at a federal facility) the population is only around 15,000. USA population: 323 million USA federal/state prison population: 1,518,559 (716 per 100,000) So I think even with Canada's super tough laws it's a lot harder to end up in prison here for anything. --- Never write off the Doctor! ...

I disagree with these laws, most laws actually, but it's not like this kind of thing is running rampant in Canada, like people are being arrested for no reason all the time. America has higher prisoners per capita so therefore it's easier to be sent to an American prison, no? --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

If we didn't want to see Canadian content we'd just watch American TV it's a good way to promote Canadian media. if we didn't have the CRTC it would probably be okay but I wouldn't want to end up with a "tim hortons" of Canadian media I.E. a predatory American corporation that panders to Canadian patriotism for huge profits --- ...
