NDP collapse creates space for MCanGA
Can PCC pivot quickly enough?
With the NDP losing official party status, there is a real gap for a working-class, MAGA-type party in Canada - pushing civic nationalism, immigration controls, integrationism/mono-culturalism, traditional family values, re-industrialization, defence etc.
The PPC could do this BUT — and it is a big but — they would need to aggressively court unions and working class votes and a different approach to the welfare state that maintains the social compact.
Libertarianism for families/communitarian on social issues, individual libertarianism — where there is no conceivable state interest — and a little bit of collectivism with respect to the social compact.
It’s a framing issue. But they would need to move fast, rebrand fast and capture the space before NDP can recover — targeting particular municipal councils and remaining NDP ridings.
This is the biggest and maybe only chance PPC are going to get.

Your breakdown of the NDP's decline and MCANGA's potential ascendancy offers a razor-sharp analysis of this political realignment. The way you connect historical patterns to current opportunities demonstrates why power vacuums in politics often create the most consequential shifts. Particularly compelling was your observation about how these developments reflect broader voter sentiment changes. This is exactly the caliber of nuanced political commentary that helps readers see beyond surface-level headlines.
I see the point, but but I find it a bit Machiavellian, calculating and dishonest.
I consider Libertarian socialism a misguided idea.
I will try to address it at some point.
