the context of the polarization that occurred in both
Western Canada and Quebec (for different reasons) prior to the 1993 election with the rise of the neo-conservative Reform Party in Western Canada and the surge in the popularity of the separatist Bloc in Quebec, not to mention the unpopular policies of the Mulroney Conservatives, all of which led to the conditions allowing an otherwise unpopular Liberal leader (Chretien) to ride the waves of discontent to three successive majority governments. Let's talk about whether or not there is a current re-alignment after we've had at least more than one Conservative majority government in the 21st century. I agree with you that there has been a realignment; however we disagree on the nature of the realignment. I would argue that the realignment has been more so one of discontent with out of touch, unaccountable federal governments of any political stripe, to a form of regional polarization which means the Liberals can no longer count on their traditional Quebec stronghold and the Conservatives can no longer count on winning enough seats in Ontario to win a majority. Rather than choosing the boring American style of choosing between only two real options, the same old Duff and Duff Lite choices of their parents and grandparents generations, Canadians are more and more choosing alternatives other than the lesser of two evils, rather than choosing one of the two TOP (Tired Old Parties), more and more of us are voting for progressive change as demonstrated by the rise of the NDP in Quebec during the last federal election in Canada, and the gradual increase in percentage of popular vote being earned by newer parties such as the Green Party. What gets in the way of this progress is the apathy many Canadians suffer from, partly due to our equally old and tired first-past-the-post system which tends to over-represent the two traditional parties and under-represent other parties. So, in conclusion, I concur with the other editors that this whole section needs a re-write, complete with the addition of content properly referenced by other sources that add other more widely held points of view than the one you are pushing.

Conservative popular vote in Canada is at or near their all-time low. One has to only look at the recent election results and do the math. During the 1980s conservative popular vote was substantially above 50% of the popular vote. This trend continued in the 1990s, but was splitting the vote between two conservative parties (the PC and
Alliance), leading to successive Liberal majorities. This phenomenon ended in the 2000s with the merger of the two parties. The real reason for the Liberal party's demise and the Conservative party's ascent is the New Democratic Party which has gained significant support in every election in the 2000s, eventually pushing the Liberal party (as well as the BQ) into the background. The NDP's rise has caused a vote-split in seat-rich Ontario in the Conservatives' favour.

commentator for the Globe and Mail said, "Harper has completed a remarkable reconstruction of a
Canadian political landscape that endured for more than a century. The realignment sees both old parties of the moderate middle, the Progressive Conservatives and the Liberals, either eliminated or marginalized." Maclean's said, the election marked "an unprecedented realignment of Canadian politics" as "the Conservatives are now in a position to replace the Liberals as the natural governing party in Canada.".

dependent on employment offers. It's a change with pros and cons - on the bright side, foreign nationals had a hard time finding employment in Canada in the past, so this change means they arrive to Canada with a job on the table. However, immigrants from poor countries will often accept or can be forced to accept lower wages, so employers are taking advantage of this system to suppress wages, which is a similar political issue as the US is having with our H1 visas, from what I understand.

the "colonists" are merely foreign nationals? As a stranger to
Canadian politics, I have to infer this is maybe a national socialist perspective since multiculturalism and "disguised colonialism" are often things they complain about, given they believe foreigners dilute their gene pool or culture. I don't know enough about Canadian politics to make any changes right now or elaborate on this section, so would it be possible for someone to shine some light on it?
