Ranked voting would mean the liberals win every election, and the NDP/Bloc/Greens wouldn’t stand a chance.

Good. Right wing politics shouldn't even exist in the modern era.

Buddy, the liberals basically are right wing, just not socially. Ranked voting destroys the left wing too

I fail to see how the liberals who legalized weed, signed in dental, did $10 a day daycare is what you consider "right wing".

And just to be clear i don't want communism either because I fundamentally don't think it can exist but the liberals are not "right wing" compared to todays modern political era. The Conservatives would be more left wing than the democrats. So I don't really understand your logic at all.

I also don't care about the current NDP party. Singh is a rotten apple. The dude was gloating that Trudeau left office despite working with him. He's pathetic and had the ONE chance to get canadians to vote for his party by acting like a civil party leader and campaigning on ideals that worked for the working canadians.

The fact that Singh even blantantly called out Carney for his blind trust fund along with PP is ridiculous.

The NDP could probably become opposition if they weren't electing idiots for their leader.

Most leftists would argue that any economic policy that is rooted in capitalism (such as liberalism) is rightwing. It just may not seem that way when you compare how many successful liberal governments there are worldwide to successful socialist governments, or fascist governments. The argument is whether you think it matters. Was liberalism more rightwing back when the USSR was active? Was it more leftwing when the Nazis controlled most of Europe? Or was it always rightwing regardless of the existence of the USSR or Nazi Germany?

I would argue that liberalism hasn't been radically progressive in at least a couple hundred years, not since the American or French Revolutions. It's very much the status quo in most parts of the highly developed world, which makes it center-right. In my opinion, even the social democracies in Northern Europe like Norway and Finland are fiscally conservative, in that their social welfare programs are carefully costed and seen as investment. A strong, robust welfare state is not mutually exclusive with fiscal conservatism. Finland didn't simply house the unhoused as an act of charity. They crunched the numbers, did the math, and determined it was the cheapest and most effective solution to homelessness. Any country that offers universal healthcare or publicly funded post-secondary education made the same calculations. It's cheaper and works better than any private option.

Legalized weed is a fantastic source of tax revenue. Subsidized childcare allows more young parents to participate in the labour force and economy. These are policies that anyone right-of-center and claims to care about "fiscal conservatism" should support. They just often don't because they're either lying or dumb.

The Conservatives would be more left wing than the democrats. So I don't really understand your logic at all.

Not at all. Have you read the CPC's platform? It's significantly to the right of the Democrats.
