Trump warned he will impose additional tariffs on the European Union and Canada if they band together to “do economic harm” against the United States.

Get @#$%ed, Trump. Good read. Short but detailed about how partnered we are already and what our next priorities should be

This is from a European view and while not the US the political spectrum suffers from the same problem.
What some Canadians consider left is only relative.
So this is your 'liberal' party?:

And it's a simple verifiable fact that voters decide on the goverment, so maybe it's only in your mind that they're not right-wingers.
Maybe it's an uncomfortable truth?

I think your "European" view is overlooking basically all of Eastern Europe, and some of Western Europe too. I'm 100% on board for PIIGS leftism (+Corbyn +Melenchon), but don't pretend that's what "left" means everywhere in Europe.

You are right that there's plenty right forces in Europe, but they know what they are and don't call themselves anything else.
That's my point.

I love how everyone answering this question is taking an aggressive posture like I was defending or attacking something.

Fun stuff. Thanks for answering anyway.

I guess if you find my answer aggressive I'm right that it's an uncomfortable truth for you.

You said 'your liberal party' as if I would ever vote liberal. Swing and a miss there. Liberal is basically an insult to me.

And then you claimed that I would somehow be uncomfortable with what you consider to be the truth. If that isn't plainly passive aggressive tone then I am a wombat in need of a martini.

All I was asking was if you thought of run-of-the-mill canucks as right-wingers, or if you meant the govt. From that you assumed my position and blithely attacked it.

You are cute though, I'll give you that.

'Your liberal party' as in Canadian. Petty to distort that for some reason.
You indeed appear to be a wombat since stating that your run-of-the-mill-canucks vastly elect right-wingers makes them factually a right-wing population.
If that rubs you the wrong way you can make another misinterpretation as 'passive agressive', but as I said it's stating verifiable undeniable facts and accurately described as an uncomfortable truth for you.
