Are the Liberals the more centrist party and NDP/Greens more progressive?

Posted by Tim (aka othertim) Oct 21 '19, 18:49

Relative to Canada of course, I’m pretty sure even the Conservatives are significantly to the left of US Republicans.

Responses:

more left of center. The Greens have one key issue (climate change). The NDP originated as a union party -- nm - Beaker Oct 21, 18:51
ish? Greens are harder to pin down. -- nm - Reagen Oct 21, 18:50 5
- Canadian Greens are like... libertarians who like the environment. -- nm - mafic Oct 21, 18:52 4
  - May has made some progressiveish handwaves, but also some weird wonky ideas. -- nm - Reagen Oct 21, 18:59 1
    - a thing I like about her is when elements in the party tried to bully her on BDS & she was like fuck off. -- nm - mud Oct 21, 19:01
  - mossitarians -- nm - Bery Delecto Oct 21, 18:56
  - yes -- nm - mud Oct 21, 18:56
No clue. I only know Trudeau leads the Liberals. -- nm - TWuG Oct 21, 18:49 1
- It was more directed to the Canadians and not you, but seemed like a good place to ask. -- nm* - Tim Oct 21, 18:51
yes to your im. they won't touch alot of the issues that drive the GOP (abortion, guns, gay marriage, universal healthcare) -- nm* - Beaker Oct 21, 18:49 2
- if it wasn't such political poison, I think Scheer personally might be happy to reopen all of those except maybe healthcare. -- nm - mafic Oct 21, 18:54 1
  - oh God yes. -- nm - Beaker Oct 21, 18:55
