    You’re being downvoted but you are completely correct. By American standards the democrats are left wing but by the rest of the world they’re incredibly conservative.

    If you were to honestly compare the American Democratic party to the Canadian Conservative Party you would have a shockingly close fit.

    In America it’s not right vs left. It’s, at best, right vs centrist.

      That oft repeated claim of parallelism between the US Democrats and the CPC might have been more true in the past. I think there are significant differences nowadays as Poilievre plays with populist rhetoric and policy ideas. Considering the voting base the CPC is attempting to court, I’m not sure those two political parties are really in the same boat.
