Is Canada more party-based, like the UK and NZ?

 
Yes - and unfortunately we're starting to accumulate our share of
right-wing whacko candidates, both federally and provincially.
 

Well you have had a generation of left wing whackos. Only fair.,

 
When somebody who expresses support for abortion rights gets tarred with
the “radical left” brush, you have to wonder who the right-wingers would
consider “moderate left”.
 
Seems like the concept of being “moderate”, or having a diversity of
views, doesn’t exist for them: if you are not 100% for them, then you must
be against them.
 

It would be really hilarious watching them tie themselves in knots trying
to (not) answer the question “who won the 2020 election”, if it weren’t so
sad. This question has a one or two word answer, however you want, and
saying anything else is a joke. Apparently the Great Orange won’t tolerate
a real answer.
