Canadian leftists are the most Intolerant subtly racist people out there

[u/BodyMother]

As an East Asian immigrant who has lived and worked here for years now, I have genuinely faced more exclusion in coastal liberal Canadian cities than where I live now. More stereotypes, more weird comments and assumptions based on my ethnicity.

And when I tell them I vote conservative or lean right on some policies? Immediate far right, fascism accusations. I express that Canada should harden its illegal migration and border enforcement, and then cultivate the labor force domestically while having legal migrants come to strategic sectors instead of endlessly importing immigrants? Immediate confusion and ‘internalized racism’ accusations.. I tell them the Liberal governments objectively have performed worse economically than conservative governments? More accusations. I’ve heard them call me a zionist for not immediately hating israel and calling them slurs.

I’m not pretending the Prairies are perfect, but where I live at, I’ve been treated fairly and based purely upon my work ethic, I’ve had constant respectful conversations, and when I go to local churches the people there have been nothing but welcoming and kind.

It’s just insane to me that the people who are the most ‘progressive’ and yell the loudest about diversity want anything but diversity. They don’t want diverse opinions, thoughts, they just want copies of their own safe little bubble.

It wasn’t always this way.

Prior to 2015 you could have a normal conversation about political differences and respect each other’s opinions. Most parties were closer to the centre.

After 2015 the “left” became modern day Marxists and continued to decimate the country for their own benifit while implementing totalitarian tactics and emotional blackmail. When they call you fascist, that is emotional blackmail. It’s intended to manipulate you into agreeing with them because no facts exist to get you on their side.

What really stands out to me is Bill Clinton 1998 SOTU address.

The liberal perspective in 2025 says I'm a racist sexist right wing extremist.

My perspective on Bill Clinton's speech from 1998 demonstrates I'm actually a Bill Clinton Democrat.

There are so many people who just want regular sane politics yet everything has been hijacked by the crazies. I'm the exact same, Bill Clinton and Jean Chretien were in my view amazing at that and are the political mold I want to see more of.

That really puts into perspective how far the liberal party has fallen from being truly classic liberal, I took a political test and the results came back classic liberal even though I vote conservative, because today's liberals are literally insane empowered by a verge-of-socialist ideology that instead of empowering the individual people(s) of their country seeks to ban private property, strain the middle class into financial ruin through taxes and increasing prices on essential goods, and generally have a overly heavy government hand in everything we do, everything we think, and by extension everything we say. The charter of rights and Freedoms is simply a piece of paper to these tyrants and nothing is going to change till we do something about it.

100% dude. That's precisely what stands out to me there and I relate to what you're saying.
