People on Welfare Don’t Care About the Cost of Living, The Liberal Party of Canada Did Not Win Because of Conservative Issues June 7, 2025.
Canada Is a Left-Wing Country—Let’s Stop Pretending Otherwise
There’s a popular myth floating around: that the Liberal Party of Canada won the last federal election by stealing the Conservative platform. But this narrative misses the mark. The real reason the Liberals won is simple—most Canadians do not associate poverty or rising costs with politics. In Canada, dependency on government is normal, and for many, voting left is about protecting entitlements, not solving economic problems.
Polling data shows that the political divide in Canada is now roughly 43% Conservative and 57% far-left. And let’s be clear: Canada doesn’t have a strong contingent of moderate left-wing voters anymore. The center-left has collapsed, and in its place is a voter base driven largely by fear—fear of losing government programs, subsidies, and handouts.
No Debate, No Nuance: The Far-Left Consensus
In Canada, certain ideological positions are no longer up for debate. Abortion? Settled. Universal healthcare? Untouchable. Supply management? A protected relic of command-style economics. These are policies rooted not in flexibility, but in fear of change.
Even talking about these issues can get politicians and media outlets labelled as “extremists.” The Conservative Party of Canada remains cautious, often muzzled on key cultural and economic debates for fear of political fallout. So no, the Liberals didn’t win by copying Conservative ideas—they won because the NDP collapsed and left-wing voters rallied around the only party promising to protect their benefits.
Jagmeet Singh’s Legacy: Trudeau 2.0, Without the Charisma
Jagmeet Singh—once seen as a potential disruptor in Canadian politics—ultimately failed to distinguish himself. Rather than standing firm on any principles, he became an echo of Justin Trudeau, further cementing the collapse of the NDP. Once Trudeau resigned, many on the left saw Singh as a relic of the past, not a leader of the future.
His refusal to challenge bad policy, coupled with his full embrace of Trudeau’s legacy, alienated voters who were desperate for something new. Singh’s silence on critical issues helped pave the way for Mark Carney’s coronation as Liberal leader.
Mark Carney: All Talk, No Clarity
Carney entered politics with a reputation as a world-class banker, but his political instincts leave much to be desired. He speaks as though words alone can unite a fractured country. While Justin Trudeau was known for his divisive rhetoric, he was at least charismatic. Carney, by contrast, is dry, and his platform—though wrapped in centrist language—is deeply partisan and bureaucratic.
What frustrates many Canadians is Carney’s failure to act. Despite all the talk of reform and unity, he’s doing little to improve affordability, grow industry, or remove red tape. His platform adds layers of regulation and expands the size of government, all while claiming to represent “fiscal responsibility.”
Premiers Ford and Smith: Quiet Resistance
To their credit, Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith have taken a cautious but pragmatic approach in dealing with Mark Carney. Rather than fight openly, they’re letting federal policies fail on their own terms. When provinces ask why pipelines aren’t being built, or why housing is stagnating, the answer is now simple: Ask Ottawa.
Critics may argue that Ford and Smith aren’t doing enough, but the truth is they’re doing what they can within the limits of Canada’s political reality. They are quietly opening markets, resisting overreach, and letting federal overregulation expose itself.
The Public Service and Welfare Machine
One of the biggest structural challenges Canada faces is the growth of its public sector and unionized labor. Government jobs are increasingly viewed as entitlements, not responsibilities. And when you tie these jobs to political outcomes, voters are incentivized to support candidates who promise to spend more and regulate harder.
It’s no surprise, then, that people on welfare don’t care about inflation or the cost of living—they’re shielded from economic reality. What they care about is who will protect their benefits. That’s the real engine behind Liberal electoral wins.
Canada’s Cultural Divide: Reality vs. Rhetoric
In the media sphere, many content creators are spinning wild theories to explain Liberal dominance, but most of them ignore the obvious: Canada is a left-wing country. Until that cultural reality changes, no election outcome will meaningfully reverse the country’s trajectory.
The best any provincial government can do is shrink its own bureaucracy, lower local taxes, and resist Ottawa’s overreach. That may not sound flashy, but it’s the most effective resistance available under current conditions.
Final Thought: A Cultural Shift Is Still Possible
Despite everything, there is still hope for Canada—but it won’t come from Ottawa. It will come from the ground up, as more Canadians awaken to the fact that true prosperity requires responsibility, faith, and freedom. The political class won’t save us, and government dependency is not a sustainable future.
For those disillusioned with politics, the answer isn’t apathy—it’s Christ, culture, and community. The only way out of this bureaucratic spiral is to start rebuilding Canada from its moral and spiritual foundation.
Consider making Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior today.
