Economically dependent on their northern neighbor, business owners in Washington state are laying off employees and shutting their doors.

    We need the pain. Just like you needed the pain from Trump to oust your far right, We need everybody, even the people in the deep blue states to say absolutely not to the entire right agenda, or shit here is never going to get better

      We didn’t oust our far right. They got more votes than they’ve had in decades. They just got them in the wrong places.

      We also lost our left wing party whose votes got gobbled up by the centre-left Liberals.

        Idk anything about Canada’s voting. I’m assuming all the right wing votes were placed on places with lower representation?

          No they were all over the place. They won a lot of seats but Carney’s Liberals won more.

          In Canada I think there are just more left wing voters than right wing. Normally when the Conservatives win it’s because the left wing gets split among multiple left wing parties. This time, people abandoned those other left wing parties and jumped to the Liberals.
