The White House blocked an Associated Press reporter from an event in the Oval Office on Tuesday because the news agency has not altered its style on the Gulf of Mexico, which U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered renamed to the Gulf of America, the news agency said.

    What would you call me?

    Please take no offense, but I’m very confused as to how an American with your set of beliefs would ever have come to label themself a “conservative”. You are perhaps a conservative (a rather left-wing one) by Canadian standards, what we call “Progressive Conservatives” here, which are unfortunately a dying breed as our conservatives are infected by American culture war brain rot. If I were to transpose you onto Canadian politics, I would absolutely guess you tend to vote for the Liberals, which are a slightly left of center party. In a US context, I don’t know… McCain Republican? Blue Dog Democrat perhaps?

      I hate the US Overton window.

      So I’m a Trudeau and not a Ford or Polliviere?

      I’m fine with that lol

        Trudeau is probably to your left. I think you’d fit in with Progressive Conservatives who would have supported Joe Clark back in the day, and are now eager to vote for Mark Carney.
