Out of desperation, Conservatives are making bicycle lanes into wedge issue.
There are examples of this in Nova Scotia, Alberta, and Ontario.
This “make-streets unsafe” rhetoric is targeted directly at the suburban commuter who became the audience for right wing extremist radio hosts like Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones, and Danielle Smith. When podcasting replaced talk radio, the likes of Jordan Peterson filled the void.
When once immigrants and LiBeRaLs were to blame for every problem, Now they blame bike lanes.
If the NDP is to recapture this commuter audience and with their votes, they have their work cut out for them.
As someone living in a small town suburb, it is never going to happen. It doesn’t matter how much people are struggling, it is the social values of the NDP that put off most rural voters.
Unless the NDP changes some of it’s focus and social values, there is not a chance in hell they get the rural suburb vote.
People out here always vote blue, but would vote red before ever considering orange.
If the party went back to a more ‚worker’s‘ party instead of a ‚woke‘ party, they might gain some ground. There was NDP support out here when Jack Layton led the party on a different set of core values. All those old ‚working class‘ NDP voters have now switched to blue as the current NDP started to focus more on ‚progressive‘ policies and handouts.
That doesn’t get votes out here.
The Conservatives are a rural-suburban collation, the Liberals are a suburban-urban coalition. If the NDP don’t want to just be less realistic Liberals, they need to be the rural-urban coalition.
Mmmmm i dunno
Rn all the ndp seems to offer is programs that help low to no income people while asking people in the suburbs to pay for it
Can’t see how that works out politically
