A bit older but something I didn’t see until now showing how US Republicans are just the worst and the dumbestas Canadian tourism is DOA.

      That’s disheartening. I’ve been under the impression that even most of your conservatives generally find Republicans to be completely cuckoo. Is that not the case?

          Unfortunately, we have a first-past-the-post election system in most of the country (a very few places have ranked-choice). What that means is that most of the time, voting for anyone besides a Democrat or a Republican amounts to throwing your vote away.

      MB would be a swing state that leans left, SK would be 55:45 R, AB would be 70:30 R, ON would be a bellwether swing state like NY was for centuries. QC, the coastals, and the Arctics would be blue states.

        I mostly agree but I’d say AB would be closer to 90:10 R. I’ve got family and friends there and it’s very conservative. I don’t actually know a single liberal Albertan.

        The rest is spot on though.

          For context, we don’t have a single state that is 80:20 R. WV/WY are the closest we have, and even then it’s basically 70:30.

              That’s only because the farmers here are stupid, but that sadly seems to be the case for most uneducated people.
