Liberal tent now encompasses any political beliefs anyone has ever, or will ever, have

Clearly the liberals have seen how well the big tent worked for the cons and thought, yeah let’s do that.

The biggest tent party.

-Pierre Poilievre to announce his resignation later today, PM Carney to take over as leader of the CPC with Maxime Bernier being appointed as his Deputy Prime Minister.

-Green Party leader Elizabeth May allegedly heard saying “*The tent is so fucking big the shade might cause global cooling*”

There are absolutely valid points and criticisms to be made about what kind of people a political party will accept as representatives.

For me, I would care about that more during a general election than I would for taking in MPs that cross the floor.

Ultimately, I am more concerned about what an elected party actually votes in favor of and what they actually do when in power then I am about the specific beliefs of individual MPs. If the problem at hand is lowering housing costs, I do not care much that the deciding vote to do it was cast by a hardcore communist who is advocating for the abolition of all property rights, or if they are an obsessive capitalist who wants to privatize water resources to sell on a for profit basis.

Clearly, I would rather neither person was in parliament at all, and I would never vote for either to be in office. But if the Liberal party was able to use such MP’s to do something worthwhile and productive, I view that as a net positive.

END COMMUNICATION

Except acknowledging American/Israeli war crimes and illegal wars.

The Liberal tent is held up by Canada’s collective morning wood.

You WILL assimilate into the liberal party

There is a new pipeline news . Carney announced there is one from the it only goes one way from Conservative side to his office .

Many people on both sides of the political spectrum have no idea what it is and how liberalism came to be.

Feudalism is a hierarchal system where the social order and everyone’s position in it is fairly fixed. King, nobles, tradesmen including military, everyone else. Social/economic mobility is limited to a select few with very little movement up the ladder, one maybe two rungs. For the most part if you’re born a peasant you die a peasant, because that’s what you deserve for being born to peasant parents.

Then came the age of enlightenment and Liberalism. It’s main concept is that your social position shouldn’t be limited by an accident of birth. That every one is equal with the same innate potential for achievement. So under liberalism a person born a peasant can become king, and the reverse. As well it means that everyone has protection under the law so they can’t be abused by anyone higher up the ladder (in theory).

That’s it. Normally it sits in the middle of the political spectrum, but due to it’s nature it can pretty much cover any policies other political schools of thought might have. So a liberal government can have both socialist and capitalist policies as long as they don’t conflict with people’s ability to have social/economic freedom and mobility.

Okay then, so what’s being a conservative mean? People who prefer a hierarchical system where everyone knows their place/purpose and except for a limited number of exceptions, stay there. Yup, conservatives pretty much want a modern version of feudalism. This is also why you have socially and economically disadvantaged conservatives. It isn’t about improving their own lot, it’s about making sure no one unfairly (in their view) jumps the queue and gets ahead of them.
