Well, let's find out if we delay fascism for 4 years or not.
We best start fighting back regardless of how it turns out.
Oh yeah, to be clear if the libs win delay is absolutely the key word here. They won't do shit to fight fascism so it's up to the few that give a fuck to do it.
I suspect a lot of pivotal things will happen in the next 4 years. The fascists are at the point where they actually have to put things into practice, and that's what brought them down the last time around. This election is just the first example.
So, maybe it's not just a delay? Fingers crossed.
If it's a minority government, the conservatives are going to be the opposition and they're going to block everything.
They might still have to make a coalition with the NDP but most importantly, the Bloc québécois.
I really expect the NDP will be up for it. The Bloc might be dicier. ATM they still haven't called a minority so I have a feeling the NDP will suffice.
Hoping for some kind of Conservative participation is a pipe dream, though, you're right about that. I haven't even heard it discussed.
They've adopted the republicans' scummy ways since Harper. And it intensified during this election. We had social media influence to thank as well.
It's up to us to demand that they fight it
Hahahahahahahaha.
Like actually though. Make them listen. Organize and withhold labour until we get PR and advances made against online hate speech.
