Imagine being so irrelevant that the country who shares your border is totally unaware of this.

Are there any leafs around here that can explain why there are two leftist parties?
Isn't that shooting yourself in the foot by splitting the vote?

I am outraged. Politics in other countries should mirror politics in my country because we are the best and fairest.

Then who is Liberal for?

Basically your milquetoast liberal like Joe Biden/Bill Clinton ok with capitalism but definitely into progressive identity politics. NDP is the more obnoxious Bernie/AOC succ type. NDP will often form a coalition with Liberal. The difference is subtle.

I would've assumed that Boomers would vote Conservative. Surprising.

Libs are very Boomer friendly. Their policies keep house prices high for instance

Basically yeah. There was a whole to do where Jagmeet Singh, the NDP leader was going to give a speech at a First Nations rally. And the First Nations endorsed Trudeau right before he gave his speech. I love Canadian politics because it's dramatic in a different way to burger politics.

Greens and even the Bloc are left parties too. NDP is Bernie Sanders tier gibs-me-dat party lead by a punjabi in full turban and beard, Green party is lead by the bride of frankenstien, why they're even a party still I don't know since they've never managed to secure more than 2-3 seats in any election since they started 20 years ago (min seats for official party is 15).
Bloc is "let's pretend like Quebec is a separate country even though we lost the referendum in the 90s" and is pro state run daycare and "hey don't forget that Quebec is special and we have enough seats to always be a prick in your side" -- can't blame them honestly.
Even the Conservative party here is Obama tier - full immigration, abortion rights, etc but they at least talk about balanced budgets and not full government gibs for everything - which always leads them to lose because Canadians are drunk on free government money a programmes.
Honestly biggest surprise here is the People's Party of Canada (PPC) which is anti-immigrant, anti-vax, Trumpy-bear like politics. It's their second federal election and they've gone from like 1% popularity to over 7%.
Canadian political spectrum looks like this, from left to right:
NDP, Green, Bloc, Liberal | Conservative, PPC.

You had a chance to not be completely worthless, but it looks like you threw it away. At least you're consistent.
