Canada has two major political parties (the Conservative and Liberal parties), two close-to-major parties (the New Democratic Party and the Bloc Québécois), and a scattering of others, such as the left-leaning Green Party and the far-right People’s Party of Canada.

(1,849 posts)This is exactly the trap the main stream media has fallen into and what has given us a second Trump term. It basically ignores what a crazy idea it is, how it can only be product of a deranged mind, someone unfit to be president and a danger to us all.
I’m a little unsure whether this is normalizing or surrendering in advance.
