The Democratic Party will not be able to save us from the coiuntry's fascist threat and neither will its equivalent parties in Canada. When Trudeau became prime minister he continued the austerity policies that were introduced under Harper, and most of the Canadian provinces actually implemented austerity measures before Harper became prime minister. This is causing folks like Jason Kenney to come to power. The only solution to stop the GOP from securing a permanent majority is to elect more Green Party members to the House and the Senate.
