Populism doesn’t come out of nowhere. What’s going to happen to the people that are being priced out of homeownership or forced out of the job market by cheap foreign labor? They’re going to start voting for whatever person, however nutty, that actually promises to help them

Our voters are much more fluid and likely to base their votes on the issues they face IMO. Just look at the rise and fall of the LPC and NDP over the last 20 years. The CPC has stayed steadier but also always comes up short due to them courting the far right too much. The US is more tribal with something like 80+% who know how they will vote the rest of their lives.
