theres a provincial election happening in ontario right now & there’s this new “New Blue” party & the house right across from mine - visible from my bedroom window - has a couple of New Blue lawn signs.

i finally looked up what exactly the New Blue party is, & apparently they’re a Socially Conservative party that was created because the existing Conservative party was too left-of-centre for them (fact check: the ontario “Progressive Conservative” party is very much centre-right, NOT centre-left). Doug Ford isnt right-wing enough for them. they want ontario to be MORE right-wing. they want to stop covid lockdowns & vaccine mandates. they want to stop “woke culture”; they want to stop “critical race theory” & “gender identity theory” being taught in schools.

and my neighbours support them. very cool i definitely feel safe here haha :-)

#ray speaks #and then there's another new party calling themselves the Ontario Party that have a similar 'too right-wing even for the conservatives' deal #2 new far-right parties. sooooo cool. and then we have the 'progressive conservative' party which is more 'moderate' right-wing --#-- & the centrist liberals & centre-left ndp #& the green party who i think are also pretty centrist but idk im not too familiar w the ontario green party #anyway u could argue that it's good to have more rightwing parties because it splits the conservative vote & makes them less likely to win #but. god. it is miserable seeing all these far-right ideas just out there; being pushed by legitimate political parties #idk man i think racist transphobes who demand the freedom to spread a deadly virus maybe shouldnt be allowed to run #politics #canadian politics #ANYWAY im gonna vote ndp even though the ON NDP party has a proud history of ignoring autistic voices & pouring money into the aba industry #theres like. no other option lol #i hate it here !!!!!!!!#& by 'here' i dont mean just ontario; i feel like the whole damn world has been Like This lately #far-right politics on the rise; centrist politics being treated as left-wing....#+ when it comes to autism-specific issues; ABA is still widely pushed as an ESSENTIAL 'treatment' for autistic kids #it's sickening it's all sickening it all feels so hopeless. when will things get better
