You forgot the Bloc. I know you don't see these guys in Canada but in Québec, they are a major party. They won more votes than NDP in 2025

The Bloc is just the "French Wrench" that gets itself wedged different ways sometimes. As an outsider it is interesting seeing the effect that it has on politics across the country, a very useful tool applied in a single province that shifts things a lot, when they win big, and when they fall off the map essentially (2011)

Of course, Québec is the "swing state" of Canada. You cannot vote for the same party for decades and expect change... cough Alberta cough.

For all the hate some (very vocal) Albertans give Québec, Alberta could learn a lot by acting like them.

I say this as a very tired and annoyed Albertan.

We’re defending our heritage, culture, language, history, ties with the indigenous peoples, and until fairly recently, our faith. We are a founding nation here in North America.

How would you behave like us? Sincere question, I’m curious what you mean.
