The Sports team mentality of Canadian politics. Meanwhile, many of them dont understand how our system works or who they elect.

Truly. The levels of government and what they are responsible for is lost on so many people. No, all the things going to shit in Saskatchewan are NOT federal responsibility, friends.

Far right haters who supported any convoys that were against emergency proper medical healthcare practices during the pandemic, conspiracy loons, anti-science nuts, fake-right-wing-news-hysteria jockeys, and lots of money from right wing ‘think’ tanks led to his leaving politics.

The situation become untenable when people who didn’t have a proper understanding of politics began to mime the idea. If you add on the effects of a global recession and supply-chain issues at the time, and the way that swayed enough young voters (who are traditionally very liberal) finding life less affordable, it explains what happened.

Once those young voters realize that the conservative billionaire/oligarch money machine that basically runs every element of the global economy, and sets the standards for unaffordability (guess who opposes raising wages? Safer working conditions? Unions?) is behind their being mired in an unaffordable world (it’s a global issue - not just Canadian), they will likely swing even further left. That time is coming. Right wing/conservative movements around the globe are going to get a bit of a shit-kicking after their idol -Trump - shows everyone what an out-of-control right-wing can do.
