Freeland has polled fairly poorly against Poilievre and this is what everyone i know voted on - who can defeat him. Then there's some of the bad takes she made. She sounded austerity-ish, made some anti-woke statements which play right in the cons' hands.
Not to mention that she fiercely opposed electoral reform while Mark Carney gave a maybe.
The 219 Corrupt MPs Who Voted Against Advancing Electoral Reform
The broad Canadian public is against woke policies. People want meritocracy, not identity. Read the public polling of the amount of people who support same sex marriage, it's going down. Look at the polling numbers of the public turning against the ideology of transgenderism.
Please piss off to conservative lemmy’s. Or to the US. You have no coherent explanation of what is “woke” except for maybe it’s something undefined that you don’t personally like. You don’t speak for the broad Canadian public. Stop inflecting garbage US nonsense here. We’ve had gay marriage for more than 25 years and it’s never going away.
When you go outside, talk with random strangers and ask for their take on woke and check if people out in public support gay marriage. Get people;s opinion's face to face that you don't know previously, the internet is not the real world.
Congrats. You’re my first block on lemmy.
They're a transphobic loser, you won't miss much.
Um, dude? If you're going to pretend to be a Canadian, might be good if you studied up on Canada first.
If instead you're from one of the more disgustingly backward parts of rural Alberta, you might want to pay attention to what's been happening in the rest of the country for the last fifty years or so, with emphasis on the past couple of months.
Proof please.
... and
Please post the relevant polls.

Not unexpected. Those without facts rely only on their feewings.
I mean it's possible that it may have fallen some due to the relentless campaign against it in thr US, coupled with the typical leakage of American propaganda into Canada. The support for gay marriage was never 100% so it's conceivable that it may have dropped a bit but I don't expect a dramatic change or anything approaching a majority against. Not coming off of 79% approval in 2023.
I really liked how Carney addressed the woke scare. He said that while America engages in a war on woke, Canadians will continue to value inclusiveness. Also he contrasted the US as a melting pot with Canada as a mosaic. Simple.
A quick look in Wikipedia shows in 2017 support for same sex marriage stood at 74% and in 2023 at 79%. Did it fall since then? To what?
