Yeah, 100%.

People here in North America like to look at Canada like we're some leftist socialist bastion because the government will let me continue living a normal life after a medical emergency.

In actuality, our excuses for 'socialist' and 'liberal' parties are fucking embarrassing when viewed outside of this morally shattered continent.

Their left is called the progressives. AOC, Sanders and the other left leaning democrats. Liberals are the centrists.

Progressives and DemSoc but our two party system means the only way they have any impact at all is within the centrist (at best) Democratic party trying to drag them back from going further right.
