Our Liberals are what we call "neo-liberal". Morally somewhat progressive, but fiscally conservative. They prioritize the economy (read: businesses) over anything else.
They tend to cut funding to social programs through austerity measures, then claim they don't work, only to privatize everything. Then realize privatizing everything made it suck even more because they're raking in all the cash, but not investing in any maintenance, and are begging the government for money for that maintenance. Only to pocket that money as well.
They'll sell our natural resources to the highest bidder, usually foreign interests, who will then sell it back to us with an exaggerated increase.
.......that was a very long yes.
Not quite, they're more like pro-business Democrats. Promise nice things, deliver for big business and weaken labour instead, give you more pride flag zebra crossings as consolation.
That's the ones. The actual progressive/left party are the NDP party up here. Canadian conservatives used to be much closer to the centre, but they fell quick under the onslaught of American propaganda recently. Liberals are the ones who don't care what you do in the bedroom as long as their donors are making money. NDP are the tiny voice of the people who think the Epstein class needs to go, and wearing rainbow socks doesn't make them "One of the good ones."
No, your conservatives are straight Nazis, our liberals are fiscal conservatives. To be fair, both deserve the gallows.
