Interesting fact: the US used to use the same color scheme for parties until 1980 when ABC's president at the time thought that it was too confusing because, and get this stupid idea, Republican started with R, Reagan started with R, and since Red started with R, people wouldn't understand why his states were blue. American television executives are idiots. BTW, I'm American.
The Liberal Party and the Conservative Party should have been right on top of each other tbh. The Conservative Party is in favour of corporate bailouts, mass migration, abortion, gay marriage, secularism, and doesn’t support the conservation of anything.
Ben McKean you might be confusing communism with authoritarianism. The communist countries that caused the deaths did so because of their authoritarian nature. The NDP aren’t even communist, nor am I.
I am surprised you put the Greens where you did. You cited the CBC, but the CBC political compass actually puts the Green Party to the LEFT of the NDP. The idea that the Greens are "more conservative" is mostly an NDP talking-point, because they don't like admitting that anyone is more left-wing than themselves.
@@attalan8732 Well, from a Canadian perspective, I honestly didn't say anything all that controversial. For anyone outside of Canada, they should just view this video as insight on how an average Canadian understands politics.
@Ben McKean Look up the King-Byng affair of 1926; this was the last time a Governor General refused to approve a government formed by a party leader and thus deny royal assent.
Thank you for explaining the monarchy/gov general aspect, very little known even among us Canadians. Also, I appreciated that this video was kept to the facts, and not an opinion on who you like or dislike. When you discussed the Green Party's placement, I was really glad that you had sought out other avenues so that it would be more objective. I don't know if it would be too much or too long, but a look through the Prime Ministers would be a fun video, just like you do with monarchies. Same with the Presidents. Thanks for taking the time to teach us all a little about politics and history! Your hard work is greatly appreciated!
A Canadian Prime Minister video is a great idea. I have the amazing Canadian history poster and love the accompanying video. These Canadian resources are invaluable.
Yeah up until about that point the RNC (freed the slaves) was the left and the DNC was the right. Notable examples are Strom Thurmond and Barry Goldwater. Both on the right and both originally democrats.
Barry Goldwater was never a Democrat, and the party switch was more of a gradual process from the 1930s to the 1960s. The real reason the colors switched was the advent of color TV.
What I’ve learnt about the major parties via school and memes. Bloc Québécois: Bye Canada! We’re revoking your second largest country status by leaving you! NDP: I’ve got a bunch of twelve year olds screaming about me and I’m pro-abortion. Racism bad. Conservatives: I’ve got one very, very passionate twelve year old screaming about me and I’m anti-abortion. Also, money good. Green Party: We like trees. People’s Party: Anyone who isn’t white sucks. Liberals: Blackface is totally fine, corruption is totally fine, everything is totally fine.
I completely agree with your placing of the greens. I’ve never understood why the CBC puts them more left than the NDP. They are a more left wing party but if you read their platform, many of the economic points lie more with the liberals, or more centre than the NDP
Ya precisely I think people don’t understand that the greens are fundamentally an eco-populist party, and while having a lot of left wing policies they do tend to attract conservatives with an eco mindset.
I’d love to see one of these for the British Political Parties, we have many political parties who get seats and with the devolved parliaments I believe our politics is much more interesting than other countries particularly the US.
Well us has 2 parties and a few 3rd parties that only manage to take votes away from the main parties For us if you vote 3rd party you may as well not vote So yeah I agree any other countries politics is more interesting
Hi! I'm also Canadian (Province of Quebec) and I think you got the right positions on that line. By the way I just subscribed to your channel you got some really cool vids!
@@EEYore-py1bf are you saying that neither conservatives or the PPC are socially liberal? The conservatives are kinda centrist socially but the PPC? Not a chance
The NDP and Green Party are usually so close with each other when you look at different political compasses that they sometimes overlap, so I think anyone is justified to say that the Greens are either more conservatives or more liberal than the NDP. But I don't think they're much different from one another. Only difference is that the Greens are only relevant with power in BC where the NDP is relevant nationwide with power. So you're correct and wrong :) haha.
Left and Right as dictated by Canadian terms. Many people in Europe and the US often misrepresent what "Left and Right" by what the terms mean in their own countries. Anyone who believes that their countries definition is superior to that of another make this mistake most often. It gets very annoying when people from other countries assume that they know more about your politics than you as a native does.
Ok, can we maybe hope for other videos on political parties in the world ? Cause I just found out that I really wanna see that. Also, Canadian politics seems way less messy than French politics (at least on the chart)
The Westminster system we inherited from the UK is inherently stable. There is a reason why the UK is the oldest major democracy, and why France, well what are you on the third or fourth republic?
Well they were formed by progressive conservatives and liberals. A lot of people think they are more right wing because they are French. And well there French
@alexpetal I'm a Filipino immigrant that moved to Canada and now am a citizen and will be voting for the PPC on Monday. Maxime Bernier is not racist or xenophobic and my riding candidate even visited to my house this Wednesday and we had a nice chat. I do plan on moving to the USA though. I'm turning 18 just in time to vote so I'm excited
@alexpetal No he doesn't lol, I'm an immigrant myself, it sounds like you're completely getting your information from a very biased Liberal or NDP point of view.
@@me9039 not only what alexpetal was saying completely false, that is a disgusting comparison. What lengths people go to in the name of tolerance never ceases to baffle me. You leftists need to take a look in the mirror sometimes.
TheLaneSplitter MC a jew could’ve voted for Hitler that doesn’t change the fact he was an antisemite, and speaking of antisemitism, don’t you think the lunatic right has ruined countries enough (the Philippines per example)
Hannes productions Yes, Red is associated with communism. The red scare was a period of fear of communism taking root in the US for example. However when TV was first broadcast in color, the 3 channels at the time each picked a red-blue color scheme for their election maps, resulting in red and blue being used for both parties depending on the channel. It just so happens the current colors were used by 2 of the channels and the other was used by the remaining channel. After 1 or 2 elections the third channel shifted to match the other 2 and here we are!
Just my opinion, but I think the Greens should be slightly further to the left, as their policy platform is admirable (particularly on the environment) but highly aspirational. Also just my opinion, but you have the Conservatives too far to the right. The Liberals are fiscally conservative and socially progressive, but only slightly left-of-centre; the Conservatives are almost indistinguishable on economic issues, but fall right-of-centre on social issues. The gap between the Conservatives and the PPC should be wider on your graph. As you said, your video is meant merely to provide an overview of the parties. The issues in this, indeed any, election are complex, and can’t be represented on a straight-line graph. Sometimes, though, simplicity is the beginning of clarity ...
It would be impossible to get every appropriate spectrum, though. even having 2 or 3 axes is too few since there are so many areas of policy that exist and interact with each other
Could you do a better system than Left vs Right and talk about more axis? Like conservative vs progressive etc.? Because the left vs right is really outdated and doesnt show the nuances well.
@@tomasroma2333 While true, it gives you a much more complete picture of the views of people. Political Compass usually does Libertarian/Liberal vs Authoritarian, but generally doesnt really work for most systems. Conservative vs Progressive works quite well as you have some of the green parties usually being more progressive than socialist parties and far right parties being generally less economic right but more conservative.
I really like that you have done this video as i am not so well versed on canadian politics than i am on USA/ UK politics, i think you should continue to do more videos like this on global politics explaining them, contrasting them, diving in to the various parties of different countries and intertwining Monarchial history where it is applicable.
Left vs Right is a conman's narrative, like changing a label from Coke to Pepsi on a bottle of engine oil. In France and other countries, changing parties from right to left, regardless of their position, regardless of their colour, regardless of their name, regardless of their "Promisses", ended up implementing the same nation raping, common people flailing, mass immigration tsunami, criminal globalist banker agenda. The same has occurred in other countries. There should not be anything simplistic as a spectrum, but if you really had to come up with a simplistic spectrum it should be: the 99%-Nationalist-middleclass-patriots vs 1%-Globalist-Bankers-Warmonger-MediaPropaganda. In France its blatant, Rothschild and a few bankers control all the media, they infiltrate several parties and get the most corrupt party elected by calibrating media coverage, and then the elected party serves them! Regardless of the party, LeftvsRight, slogans, or of what they "say" or promise. People have had enough, elections are a scam, thats why Yellow Vests are standing up. Our systems are all FAKE DEMOCRACY, cheerleaded by Globalist controlled Media Propaganda. REAL DEMOCRACY desnt have political parties and elections, but the people write amend and approve the constitution, vote their own laws directly, vote on any issue at their initiative, and participate through Governance and Oversight groups of Randomly selected citizen volunteers with a short mandate.
I would suggest to move every party except the PPC to the left a little bit, and move the PPC farther right. Of course my impression my be wrong, but I would also suggest that the Bloc is not as tied to the left/right spectrum, especially as they seem to be getting a boost from the people who voted CAQ in the provincial election.
The Liberal party of Canada is not Centrist. The CBC, the Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star and the Huffington post have all reported at one point or another that this government is a left of centre party.
Canada has had 13 minority governments and recently experienced three successive minority government between 2004 and 2011 (2004-06 Liberal, 2006-08 and 2008-11 Conservative). They remind relatively rare in comparison with other countries that have multiparty parliaments. There has only been one coalition government out of all of those minority governments and that was during the First World War.
The liberals are definitely more left and the Conservatives closer to the center. The PPC isn't far-right either and would be closer to the average Republicans.
@@Derperfier what is "right" is subjective and is an arbitrary line of belief that is or isn't part of it. I would definitely consider the Republicans as centre-right, and the Democrats as definitely left. Just read what's actually in Alexandria Ocaso Cortez's Green New Deal and you'll se what I mean. Beto wants to take all American's AR-15s away and we don't even have that here in Canada. The PPC themselves are even more left of Republicans actually because they don't have a platform that wants to privatize healthcare, permitless carry of guns, and classifying abortion as murder.
@@ponraul1221 I think some of the confusion comes from the fact that America's Democratic Party isn't ideologically cohesive. Sure, AOC herself is Left, but Joe Manchin, who is also an elected Congressional Democrat, holds even more power and votes in line with Republicans more than Democrats (and Beto is literally just a guy, he holds no political power right now, and is highly unlikely to represent the Party in any capacity going forward). The Republicans have a bit stronger message discipline, but even there, there's still an ideological range. I don't know how that compares to Canada, but arguing about the placement of American political parties on an ideological map just isn't super useful. Individual politicians, sure, but the parties as a whole- especially the Dems- are pretty ideologically incoherent
2 things I say as a Canadian: 1. The Americans used to also have the left as red and the right as blue. The parties switched emphasis shortly after the emancipation movement. 2. The position of the left is correct but you put our right side too far. The conservatives sit middle right and the ppc are where the conservatives were placed. One easy arguement for this is that those will still keep Canada's Socialist healthcare system, even though they're right.
ScarCrazy A.C. American party never switched. RUclips search pragerU did the parties switch. The whole switch is a leftist disinfo to cover up their slavery past
In the US we have a President elected by a minority of the people, a Supreme Court controlled by the minority party, and the Senate controlled by states with a minority of the population; we're well aware of what it means to have a minority government. The closest thing we have to a majority government is the House of Representatives but due to nonsensical caps on the total number of Representatives and gerrymandering that too is not representative of the country.
Willie Davis Thats not what a minority government is. In order for a minority parties to be in power, you need to have more then 2 parties elected so that way no party has overall control. It does not refer to a minority of people voting for a government, thats quite an in incredibly common occurrence here in the Uk for example but we normally have a majority government.
@@UsefulCharts Liberals. When NDP gets more votes, liberals get fewer. The brief period when NDP became the official opposition was when the liberals took a huge hit.
I think NDP should be equidistant from Liberals and Green. Preferably with Liberals in Center/Center-Left and Greens Further Left. How large the distance might be depends entirely on reference points and scale.
Move liberal to green, green to ndp, ndp over a weeeeeeee bit more, bloc in between where liberal and green is, conservative closet to the centre and the ppc is actually pretty dead on
Not at all, the US gets to vote on EVERYTHING, we don’t even get to vote between federal representative and the prime minister...the lady above me has no clue what she’s talking about.
@@nathanrobinson1099 - Canada has 6 political parties because it's what the people want. The USA has two! If they are not happy with the GOP or the Dems, why don't they create another party? Canadians do get to vote on everything. That's why we have politicians who got us Universal Healthcare and lower drug prices than the USA. The USA is Republic, Canada is a Parliamentary Democracy. Every province in Canada is free to vote in whatever government the citizens want. The USA can only vote in one out of two parties. Very Sad!
Hello. I have been watching your videos for a while now and you explain your charts well. It is nice that we have one on a Canadian issue. However, I feel that you had brushed over the role of Her Excellency the Governor General acting in the name of Her Majesty The Queen of Canada - in particular as it is expected that we have a minority parliament. The Governor General will have an important role to play, in making sure that confidence is respected in the House of Commons. Maybe, another video that you could make would be to explain the King-Byng issue of 1926, explaining the importance that the Governor General makes sure that democracy is respected.
10:55 Interesting, in my country if something political has "people's" in its name then it's (post)communist or has agrarian facade (not mutually exclusive) PS. Last Sunday (13X2019) there were also parliament elections in Poland
Kuba Król that’s usually how it would be in Canada too, in fact I was really surprised when I found out that the People’s Party wasn’t communist or on the left at all
The NDP is actually the communist party in Canada, but they call themselves "socialists". I don't think the People's Party of Canada is far-right like what the guy in the video said, they're more centrist.
BTW, thanks to this chart, I was able to understand the results on CBC and have a discussion with my cousins in Canada! Thanks again for this and keep up the good work!
You are looking at the parties through a Canadian lens (don't worry my school does to) however if you use an objective lens you'll find that the ucp is a centrist left party.
I'd place everyone further to the right. Peoples as extreme right, Conservatives as far right , Liberals as centre right, Greens as centrists and NDP/Quebec as centre left
Andrew Parker I would say the opposite. Liberals are left, ndp are lefter, green is off the screen to the left, conservatives I would mostly agree with the placement, and ppc to the right a little more for me.
@Nicolas Chaput I'm a French Canadian as well but I live in the United States. So my country's leader is the President of the United States of America. My family are apart of the many French Canadian families who had settled in the New England states of the United States as they were immigrating to the United States of America in the middle and late 19th century. Since both of my parents grew up is the state of Rhode Island the smallest state in the United States of America. Then my father enlisted into the United States Marine Corps at the age of 19 in 1979 and spent 23 years in the Marine Corps retiring as a Marine Corps Captain. My father's parents actually still lives in Rhode Island today. But my dad and my grandfather both were born in New Brunswick, Canada and were once Canadian citizens before becoming American citizens. My grandfather's family still lives in the province of New Brunswick in Canada today since his oldest sister and oldest brother lived all of their lives in New Brunswick, Canada when he and some other of his siblings settled in the United States between the states of Maine and Rhode Island. My dad lived in Maine until he was almost three years old when he moved to Rhode Island permanently until he left Rhode Island for basic training for the Marine Corps in Parris Island, South Carolina. But because of my father's career in the US military I had to grow up moving from one place to another by being born in Japan. Since my father was stationed in Japan around the time I was born. Japan was the only foreign nation outside of the United States where I lived and been to other than the United States of America itself. Since we left Japan the military kept us stateside for the rest of my life since I was almost three years old myself. So I've lived in four US states and have been to half of this entire nation with only 19 states of the 50 states of the United States of America that I have not been to as of yet. So I'm very close to being able to have visited most of the entire nation of the United States during my travels throughout this nation I live at today. But sometime in the future I would love to revisit the states I've already been to as a child and to visit those 19 states within the US that I hadn't been to yet. All so one day I could say that I have visited all 50 states of the United States of America. I'd also like to visit Canada as well because I'm pretty sure I do still have distant cousins in Quebec and other parts of Canada as well since all of my roots come from Canada itself.
You mention the idea of an official coalition, but have we ever had one of those? Not as far as I can remember. Every time the idea's brought up it gets shot down as though that's not how government normally works in a huge amount of countries. First Past the Post voting irks me because in practice it always seems to mean that a party that gets 33% of the popular vote ends up with a huge lead in seats and an apparent clear mandate by the public to govern. JT campaigned on changing to something more fair, then decided it was too hard, or too confusing, or maybe it was because he realized just how many people vote Liberal because they see them as the only non-Conservative party with a chance at "winning".
We had one around WWI... you're right...FPTP is designed for tyranny of majority (majority being 40% tops)... PPC, CPC and LPC are for FPTP, because their policies cannot be defended in honesty.
When the UK passed that law changing the primogeniture did this only effect the UK meaning at some point the UK and Canada might have different monarchs?
In Canadian politics the left-right system is completely shattered in many ways, and many of the parties positions don’t necessarily make sense. For the Bloc Quebecois for example, which, despite being more on the left socially, in a party entirely devoted to decentralization. Basically, the Bloc just says: these issues should be managed by the provinces (Quebec in this situation).
The Liberals aren’t centrists they don’t take stances and flap like a flag pole between lies. They did take an economic stance in the early 90’s when they absolutely had to.
The People's Party is the Brexit Party of Canada, and Bernier is the Farage of Canada. By the way, your country is awesome! I'd love to live there someday.
I've followed the Canadian race fairly closely. Trudeaus gotten into lots of scandals of late and has largely proved an incompetent government, so I would recommend mr scheer, even though I personally like mr bernier.
@@JL-ti3us and that philosophy is brought to you by FPTP...funny, Max, Scheer and Trudeau all support FPTP...could it be because their policies can't withstand debate? Yes, yes it could. They need majority tyranny.
The liberals are more to the left that you placed it, they where the centrist party before but over the years they have become leftist, I also disagree with the greens placement due to they are a single issue party and they be more left then the ndp.
Chad Simmons lol guiado is a socialist (that left wing) and support trump you have to be kidding me they try and compare trump with ford and sheer to stop Canadian from voting for them how is that support for trump?
@@mr_weird6324 Trump supports Guiado...is Trump left??? Trump is starting a war with Iran. Trudeau sat next to him and pledged full support (as has Scheer and Max). Facts...troubling, I know...but more accurate than feelings.
Nah the NDP are definitely further left than the Greens and the Liberals are centre to centre-right. I suggest you read the analysis by Political Compass to gain a better understanding of the meaning of the political spectrum and where the parties stand.
My prediction is liberal minority government, but 2nd most likely outcome is an even smaller conservative minority and NDP immediately forms coalition with the Liberals
I reckon PPC will get more votes than predicted, but no where cole to breaking top 3. They definitely won't do shit with the PCs after the recent controversy, though.
Just under half of Canadians oppose the British Monarchy, and just over half don't want Charles as their king, so, maybe a decade from now, this video will be outdated.
@@jakexd5524 Well honestly, i know about American and Canadian politics mostly so i don't really know how they'd compair to Europeans. I'll take your word for it
I would bet my life on a Liberal minority government, but unfortunately I am too young to vote. I honestly hope an NDP-Liberal coalition happens because that is unprecedented and we would see a lot of new things in Canada.
Great video! PPC is a new player but I think that they may establish themselves as the "Libertarian" Party of Canada. I'm glad that you put the Bloc on left, that's pretty much where they stand actually but they have been moving around over time since they emerged from the Conservative Party of the time.
One thing I've noticed about Canadians overall is they always have something to say about American politics. But generally almost no one outside of Canada really knows or cares much about Canadian politics.
Correction: We are a Constitutional Monarchy (but should be a republic, in my opinion). We have our own Constitution separate and apart from the UK. Canada has a "Representative Democracy" and there is a flaw in this. Here is the flaw of the Canadian electoral system: Each region has a representative from each Party (except in Quebec, of course; no region outside of Quebec will have a Block rep). People in the region vote for whichever Party they believe is best for Canada by voting for the local representative. Here is where the fallacy come in: people believe that the regional person that gets elected actually represents the interests, needs and desires of that region. The fact is that this is a lie. The person elected does not represent the region. Rather, they represent the will of the Party. To support this, just ask any person running who they work for and they will tell you the name of the Party they represent. The local representative does whatever the Party Leader tells them to do (or they get booted out of the Party). So, no one will actually vote for Trudeau, Sheer, Singh, or May (except in their own riding, of course). Rather, we vote for the local representative in the (mistaken) belief that we, the constituency, is actually being represented. I say all of this so that people will more clearly understand the complexity of our system. Since the Party members simply follow the dictates of the Party Leader, Canada has a "Democratic Dictatorship" - we elect our dictator every four years (or less). In that respect, we are just like the USA only we elect our dictator differently. Now I will get off my soapbox.
Fun fact: in germany the NPD is one of the most right-winged party of all. There have already been two debates on wether it should be baned or not because of their ideology. The name literally means Nationaldemocratic Party of Germany. Kinda the opposite of the canadian npd as it seems
@@justuskuhn6941 protect democracy? Ok, let's start by banning anarchists, islamists and communists. Also, what do you achieve by banning them? At least when they are public they can be exposed. Also, would you remove their democratically elected officials from office? Fight totalitarianism with totalitarianism?
If you listen to anything Elizabeth May says, she literally proposes Communism as a solution to climate change. She also thinks that "All white men have privilege". And that's an exact quote.
The political spectrum is an interesting tool in that what determines "left" and "right" depends on social values and norms. Supposedly the "central" party represents the majority of Canadian values, norms, and expectations. I am interested in how much influence the parties have on Canadians, vs how much influence Canadians have on the parties. It is an interesting push-pull mechanism that is obviously influenced by many factors such as media, perception, political activity, and demographics.
Hot take: Let’s Abolish political parties. Public votes for MPs, MPs chose prime minister and cabinet ministers (see Nunavut consensus gov). Pros: MPs can make decisions based on their constituents instead of their party line. MPs incentivized to work together. Prime minister will be a unifying figure in parliament. Cons: More responsibility on the individual voter Harder to dramatize in mass media
I work with Canadians from both Ontario and Quebec. They've taught me (what I thought was) a lot about Canadian politics but this video shattered my complete understanding. 1) Didn't realize Canada was a Monarchy, though I knew it wasn't an official democracy and DEFINITELY didn't realize it was under Queen Elizabeth 2) Since I watched this AFTER the election I thank you for explaining in simple terms what a minority government is (I'm American). 3) I'm still a little fuzzy about the whole Moarch>Governor General>Prime Minister concept so I've got some reading I get to do now :) Just found your channel and think these videos are pretty cool so far! Thanks!
You should do a chart like this on the smaller Canadian political Parties like The Communist party and the Rhinoceros Party and the Christian Heritage Party
A one-dimensional scale is inadequate to place political parties. In political science you'd generally use at least two dimensions, a cultural one and an economic one. The way you describe it, the liberals would then be in the upper right quadrant, being economically to the right but culturally liberal. They seem like a classic European liberal party.
It seems there is a void wanting to be filled between the Conservatives and the Liberals. Is it the social policy that puts the Peoples' Party to the right of the Conservatives or economics, or both?
Make sure you "vote" by clicking the i-button (top right corner of the screen)
Interesting fact: the US used to use the same color scheme for parties until 1980 when ABC's president at the time thought that it was too confusing because, and get this stupid idea, Republican started with R, Reagan started with R, and since Red started with R, people wouldn't understand why his states were blue.

I completely agree with your placing of the greens. I’ve never understood why the CBC puts them more left than the NDP. They are a more left wing party but if you read their platform, many of the economic points lie more with the liberals, or more centre than the NDP
The only not liberal party's are Conservative and the PPC
Ya precisely I think people don’t understand that the greens are fundamentally an eco-populist party, and while having a lot of left wing policies they do tend to attract conservatives with an eco mindset.
I’d love to see one of these for the British Political Parties, we have many political parties who get seats and with the devolved parliaments I believe our politics is much more interesting than other countries particularly the US.
Garry Marshall Campbell true I’m American and I like to keep up with UK politics and Canadians
Well us has 2 parties and a few 3rd parties that only manage to take votes away from the main parties
For us if you vote 3rd party you may as well not vote
So yeah I agree any other countries politics is more interesting
Hi! I'm also Canadian (Province of Quebec) and I think you got the right positions on that line. By the way I just subscribed to your channel you got some really cool vids!
It's funny that regional parties all over the world are different and sometimes right or left..
Also centre left and centre right , right left right , left right left !
Catalonia has both right and left wing nationalist parties
PDeCAT: Center right
ERC: Left
A 2d (social and economic ) chart would have been better in my opinion to give a better understanding of their positions .
Yeah, it looks like this chart was purely economic, otherwise none of the parties could have been on the right.
@@EEYore-py1bf are you saying that neither conservatives or the PPC are socially liberal?
The conservatives are kinda centrist socially but the PPC? Not a chance
@@truedarklander Kinda centrist? The CPC is openly left wing. The PPC is centrist because they're social libertarians.
The NDP and Green Party are usually so close with each other when you look at different political compasses that they sometimes overlap, so I think anyone is justified to say that the Greens are either more conservatives or more liberal than the NDP. But I don't think they're much different from one another. Only difference is that the Greens are only relevant with power in BC where the NDP is relevant nationwide with power. So you're correct and wrong :) haha.
They are both Left Wing parties.The Green is SUPER Left. NDP just comes and go !
Left and Right as dictated by Canadian terms. Many people in Europe and the US often misrepresent what "Left and Right" by what the terms mean in their own countries. Anyone who believes that their countries definition is superior to that of another make this mistake most often. It gets very annoying when people from other countries assume that they know more about your politics than you as a native does.
Glad to know that no one in Canada has ever done that very same thing themselves. 🙄
Ok, can we maybe hope for other videos on political parties in the world ? Cause I just found out that I really wanna see that.
Also, Canadian politics seems way less messy than French politics (at least on the chart)

In Sweden left is red and right is blue too
NATO blue and USSR was red. I think that was the origin. I dont now why the US has it different.
Hannes productions
Yes, Red is associated with communism.
The red scare was a period of fear of communism taking root in the US for example.
However when TV was first broadcast in color, the 3 channels at the time each picked a red-blue color scheme for their election maps, resulting in red and blue being used for both parties depending on the channel.
It just so happens the current colors were used by 2 of the channels and the other was used by the remaining channel.
After 1 or 2 elections the third channel shifted to match the other 2 and here we are!
Just my opinion, but I think the Greens should be slightly further to the left, as their policy platform is admirable (particularly on the environment) but highly aspirational. Also just my opinion, but you have the Conservatives too far to the right. The Liberals are fiscally conservative and socially progressive, but only slightly left-of-centre; the Conservatives are almost indistinguishable on economic issues, but fall right-of-centre on social issues. The gap between the Conservatives and the PPC should be wider on your graph.
As you said, your video is meant merely to provide an overview of the parties. The issues in this, indeed any, election are complex, and can’t be represented on a straight-line graph. Sometimes, though, simplicity is the beginning of clarity ...
I think Green should just BE the left. Like, just make that entire half of the line green.
A policitcal spectrum with only 1 axis doesn't work.
Thank you!!
It would be impossible to get every appropriate spectrum, though. even having 2 or 3 axes is too few since there are so many areas of policy that exist and interact with each other

Could you do a better system than Left vs Right and talk about more axis? Like conservative vs progressive etc.? Because the left vs right is really outdated and doesnt show the nuances well.
P Tjeerdsma The Political Compass isn’t a lot better tbh. One extra axis doesn’t all the nuances of politics
@@tomasroma2333 While true, it gives you a much more complete picture of the views of people. Political Compass usually does Libertarian/Liberal vs Authoritarian, but generally doesnt really work for most systems. Conservative vs Progressive works quite well as you have some of the green parties usually being more progressive than socialist parties and far right parties being generally less economic right but more conservative.
Use jregs 100 dimensional political model
Liberal should be more on the left, and conservative less on the right

Yes. Canadians who don't see that are living in a bubble. The rest of the world, including much of Europe, thinks Canada is waaayy to the left.
I really like that you have done this video as i am not so well versed on canadian politics than i am on USA/ UK politics, i think you should continue to do more videos like this on global politics explaining them, contrasting them, diving in to the various parties of different countries and intertwining Monarchial history where it is applicable.
Awsomely well done Sir. I dared to share it on my Twitter account. Hope it'll give you some new subscribers.
Left vs Right is a conman's narrative, like changing a label from Coke to Pepsi on a bottle of engine oil. In France and other countries, changing parties from right to left, regardless of their position, regardless of their colour, regardless of their name, regardless of their "Promisses", ended up implementing the same nation raping, common people flailing, mass immigration tsunami, criminal globalist banker agenda. The same has occurred in other countries. There should not be anything simplistic as a spectrum, but if you really had to come up with a simplistic spectrum it should be:
the 99%-Nationalist-middleclass-patriots
vs 1%-Globalist-Bankers-Warmonger-MediaPropaganda.
In France its blatant, Rothschild and a few bankers control all the media, they infiltrate several parties and get the most corrupt party elected by calibrating media coverage, and then the elected party serves them! Regardless of the party, LeftvsRight, slogans, or of what they "say" or promise. People have had enough, elections are a scam, thats why Yellow Vests are standing up.
Our systems are all FAKE DEMOCRACY, cheerleaded by Globalist controlled Media Propaganda.
REAL DEMOCRACY desnt have political parties and elections, but the people write amend and approve the constitution, vote their own laws directly, vote on any issue at their initiative, and participate through Governance and Oversight groups of Randomly selected citizen volunteers with a short mandate.
You got that from all that? I bet €75k you watch/read CNN daily.
There is still left vs right.
But yes, we aren't a democracy, we destroy democracies....and call it freedom.
When you’re American but you already know this stuff since you watch JJ McClough

I would suggest to move every party except the PPC to the left a little bit, and move the PPC farther right. Of course my impression my be wrong, but I would also suggest that the Bloc is not as tied to the left/right spectrum, especially as they seem to be getting a boost from the people who voted CAQ in the provincial election.
PPC 2019
@heehee mefunny I wish everyone had the same attitude about politics as you do 😊
The Liberal party of Canada is not Centrist. The CBC, the Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star and the Huffington post have all reported at one point or another that this government is a left of centre party.
Matt Buttler Of course media corporations would say that.
Oh, so CBC said it, it's true? C'mon man.
These videos are so relaxing to listen to. I don't know a thing about Canadian politics (and don't really care), yet I still watched the whole thing.
How is the Green Party not to the left of the NDP? What's conservative about them?
You should do the political quadrant.
Canada has had 13 minority governments and recently experienced three successive minority government between 2004 and 2011 (2004-06 Liberal, 2006-08 and 2008-11 Conservative). They remind relatively rare in comparison with other countries that have multiparty parliaments. There has only been one coalition government out of all of those minority governments and that was during the First World War.
The liberals are definitely more left and the Conservatives closer to the center. The PPC isn't far-right either and would be closer to the average Republicans.
TheLaneSplitter MC and average republicans are centre right/almost far right lol while democrats are centre/slightly right.
@@Derperfier what is "right" is subjective and is an arbitrary line of belief that is or isn't part of it. I would definitely consider the Republicans as centre-right, and the Democrats as definitely left. Just read what's actually in Alexandria Ocaso Cortez's Green New Deal and you'll se what I mean. Beto wants to take all American's AR-15s away and we don't even have that here in Canada. The PPC themselves are even more left of Republicans actually because they don't have a platform that wants to privatize healthcare, permitless carry of guns, and classifying abortion as murder.
@R B J identify your country you internet coward
@@ponraul1221 I think some of the confusion comes from the fact that America's Democratic Party isn't ideologically cohesive. Sure, AOC herself is Left, but Joe Manchin, who is also an elected Congressional Democrat, holds even more power and votes in line with Republicans more than Democrats (and Beto is literally just a guy, he holds no political power right now, and is highly unlikely to represent the Party in any capacity going forward). The Republicans have a bit stronger message discipline, but even there, there's still an ideological range. I don't know how that compares to Canada, but arguing about the placement of American political parties on an ideological map just isn't super useful. Individual politicians, sure, but the parties as a whole- especially the Dems- are pretty ideologically incoherent
2 things I say as a Canadian:
1. The Americans used to also have the left as red and the right as blue. The parties switched emphasis shortly after the emancipation movement.
2. The position of the left is correct but you put our right side too far. The conservatives sit middle right and the ppc are where the conservatives were placed. One easy arguement for this is that those will still keep Canada's Socialist healthcare system, even though they're right.
ScarCrazy A.C. American party never switched. RUclips search pragerU did the parties switch. The whole switch is a leftist disinfo to cover up their slavery past
@@sixshot4 the whole "that was a leftist coverup" is a rightist coverup that they used to be populist and welcoming to immigrants
i spent too much time scrolling through the controversial comments. way too much time.
In the US we have a President elected by a minority of the people, a Supreme Court controlled by the minority party, and the Senate controlled by states with a minority of the population; we're well aware of what it means to have a minority government. The closest thing we have to a majority government is the House of Representatives but due to nonsensical caps on the total number of Representatives and gerrymandering that too is not representative of the country.
Willie Davis Thats not what a minority government is. In order for a minority parties to be in power, you need to have more then 2 parties elected so that way no party has overall control. It does not refer to a minority of people voting for a government, thats quite an in incredibly common occurrence here in the Uk for example but we normally have a majority government.
I don't think liberals are equidistant from conservatives and NDP
Who would you put them closer to?
@@UsefulCharts Liberals. When NDP gets more votes, liberals get fewer. The brief period when NDP became the official opposition was when the liberals took a huge hit.
I think NDP should be equidistant from Liberals and Green. Preferably with Liberals in Center/Center-Left and Greens Further Left. How large the distance might be depends entirely on reference points and scale.

It sounds like more people get to take part in government under the Canadian political system than here in the US.
Jennifer Brewer- You are correct because Canada is a Democracy not a Republic. Democracies are about the people not about the politicians.

@@nathanrobinson1099 - Canada has 6 political parties because it's what the people want. The USA has two! If they are not happy with the GOP or the Dems, why don't they create another party? Canadians do get to vote on everything. That's why we have politicians who got us Universal Healthcare and lower drug prices than the USA. The USA is Republic, Canada is a Parliamentary Democracy. Every province in Canada is free to vote in whatever government the citizens want. The USA can only vote in one out of two parties. Very Sad!
if Canada wasnt ceded to England until 1763 and Queen Elizabeth I died in 1603, wouldnt Elizabeth II then be Canada's Elizabeth I?

Hello. I have been watching your videos for a while now and you explain your charts well. It is nice that we have one on a Canadian issue. However, I feel that you had brushed over the role of Her Excellency the Governor General acting in the name of Her Majesty The Queen of Canada - in particular as it is expected that we have a minority parliament. The Governor General will have an important role to play, in making sure that confidence is respected in the House of Commons.
Maybe, another video that you could make would be to explain the King-Byng issue of 1926, explaining the importance that the Governor General makes sure that democracy is respected.
10:55 Interesting, in my country if something political has "people's" in its name then it's (post)communist or has agrarian facade (not mutually exclusive)

Kuba Król that’s usually how it would be in Canada too, in fact I was really surprised when I found out that the People’s Party wasn’t communist or on the left at all
@alexpetal really? Give me a proof
The NDP is actually the communist party in Canada, but they call themselves "socialists". I don't think the People's Party of Canada is far-right like what the guy in the video said, they're more centrist.
BTW, thanks to this chart, I was able to understand the results on CBC and have a discussion with my cousins in Canada! Thanks again for this and keep up the good work!
You are looking at the parties through a Canadian lens (don't worry my school does to) however if you use an objective lens you'll find that the ucp is a centrist left party.
I'd place everyone further to the right.
Peoples as extreme right, Conservatives as far right , Liberals as centre right, Greens as centrists and NDP/Quebec as centre left
Andrew Parker I would say the opposite. Liberals are left, ndp are lefter, green is off the screen to the left, conservatives I would mostly agree with the placement, and ppc to the right a little more for me.
NDP should be further left if PPC is that far right. PPC LANDSLIDE INCOMING!

@Nicolas Chaput The Queen of England is just a figure Head.Napoleon dynasty is long gone. Vote Bloc and say no more to Trudeau.
@Nicolas Chaput I'm a French Canadian as well but I live in the United States. So my country's leader is the President of the United States of America. My family are apart of the many French Canadian families who had settled in the New England states of the United States as they were immigrating to the United States of America in the middle and late 19th century. Since both of my parents grew up is the state of Rhode Island the smallest state in the United States of America. Then my father enlisted into the United States Marine Corps at the age of 19 in 1979 and spent 23 years in the Marine Corps retiring as a Marine Corps Captain. My father's parents actually still lives in Rhode Island today. But my dad and my grandfather both were born in New Brunswick, Canada and were once Canadian citizens before becoming American citizens. My grandfather's family still lives in the province of New Brunswick in Canada today since his oldest sister and oldest brother lived all of their lives in New Brunswick, Canada when he and some other of his siblings settled in the United States between the states of Maine and Rhode Island. My dad lived in Maine until he was almost three years old when he moved to Rhode Island permanently until he left Rhode Island for basic training for the Marine Corps in Parris Island, South Carolina. But because of my father's career in the US military I had to grow up moving from one place to another by being born in Japan. Since my father was stationed in Japan around the time I was born. Japan was the only foreign nation outside of the United States where I lived and been to other than the United States of America itself. Since we left Japan the military kept us stateside for the rest of my life since I was almost three years old myself. So I've lived in four US states and have been to half of this entire nation with only 19 states of the 50 states of the United States of America that I have not been to as of yet. So I'm very close to being able to have visited most of the entire nation of the United States during my travels throughout this nation I live at today. But sometime in the future I would love to revisit the states I've already been to as a child and to visit those 19 states within the US that I hadn't been to yet. All so one day I could say that I have visited all 50 states of the United States of America. I'd also like to visit Canada as well because I'm pretty sure I do still have distant cousins in Quebec and other parts of Canada as well since all of my roots come from Canada itself.
From Québec Canada. Well done! I enjoy your vids.
You mention the idea of an official coalition, but have we ever had one of those? Not as far as I can remember. Every time the idea's brought up it gets shot down as though that's not how government normally works in a huge amount of countries. First Past the Post voting irks me because in practice it always seems to mean that a party that gets 33% of the popular vote ends up with a huge lead in seats and an apparent clear mandate by the public to govern. JT campaigned on changing to something more fair, then decided it was too hard, or too confusing, or maybe it was because he realized just how many people vote Liberal because they see them as the only non-Conservative party with a chance at "winning".
We had one around WWI...
you're right...FPTP is designed for tyranny of majority (majority being 40% tops)...
PPC, CPC and LPC are for FPTP, because their policies cannot be defended in honesty.
When the UK passed that law changing the primogeniture did this only effect the UK meaning at some point the UK and Canada might have different monarchs?
All the countries with the British monarch as their monarch passed similar laws at the same time.
In Canadian politics the left-right system is completely shattered in many ways, and many of the parties positions don’t necessarily make sense.
For the Bloc Quebecois for example, which, despite being more on the left socially, in a party entirely devoted to decentralization. Basically, the Bloc just says: these issues should be managed by the provinces (Quebec in this situation).
I think if the wrong party gets in, the Western Provinces of Canada will be looking to separate from the East.
I wish I could move west! (Trudeau, took all my money.)
The Liberals aren’t centrists they don’t take stances and flap like a flag pole between lies. They did take an economic stance in the early 90’s when they absolutely had to.

oh man liberal means left only in the US where everything is cracy.
Yeah americans are as crazy as it gets. Pretty much across the world everyone to the left of center hates liberals

Correction: We are a Constitutional Monarchy (but should be a republic, in my opinion). We have our own Constitution separate and apart from the UK. Canada has a "Representative Democracy" and there is a flaw in this. Here is the flaw of the Canadian electoral system: Each region has a representative from each Party (except in Quebec, of course; no region outside of Quebec will have a Block rep). People in the region vote for whichever Party they believe is best for Canada by voting for the local representative. Here is where the fallacy come in: people believe that the regional person that gets elected actually represents the interests, needs and desires of that region. The fact is that this is a lie. The person elected does not represent the region. Rather, they represent the will of the Party. To support this, just ask any person running who they work for and they will tell you the name of the Party they represent. The local representative does whatever the Party Leader tells them to do (or they get booted out of the Party). So, no one will actually vote for Trudeau, Sheer, Singh, or May (except in their own riding, of course). Rather, we vote for the local representative in the (mistaken) belief that we, the constituency, is actually being represented. I say all of this so that people will more clearly understand the complexity of our system. Since the Party members simply follow the dictates of the Party Leader, Canada has a "Democratic Dictatorship" - we elect our dictator every four years (or less). In that respect, we are just like the USA only we elect our dictator differently. Now I will get off my soapbox.
It's actually rather similar to the U.S. system, in a way.
Long Live Conservative Party Of Canada!

The political spectrum is an interesting tool in that what determines "left" and "right" depends on social values and norms. Supposedly the "central" party represents the majority of Canadian values, norms, and expectations. I am interested in how much influence the parties have on Canadians, vs how much influence Canadians have on the parties. It is an interesting push-pull mechanism that is obviously influenced by many factors such as media, perception, political activity, and demographics.
I’d say the liberals should be a lot more to the left,
Newfoundland Mapping nope
Hot take:
Let’s Abolish political parties. Public votes for MPs, MPs chose prime minister and cabinet ministers (see Nunavut consensus gov).
Pros: MPs can make decisions based on their constituents instead of their party line. MPs incentivized to work together. Prime minister will be a unifying figure in parliament.
Cons:
More responsibility on the individual voter
Harder to dramatize in mass media
I work with Canadians from both Ontario and Quebec. They've taught me (what I thought was) a lot about Canadian politics but this video shattered my complete understanding.
1) Didn't realize Canada was a Monarchy, though I knew it wasn't an official democracy and DEFINITELY didn't realize it was under Queen Elizabeth
2) Since I watched this AFTER the election I thank you for explaining in simple terms what a minority government is (I'm American).
3) I'm still a little fuzzy about the whole Moarch>Governor General>Prime Minister concept so I've got some reading I get to do now :)
Just found your channel and think these videos are pretty cool so far! Thanks!
Just wanna say that as a Marxist, liberals are considered staunchly right wing lmao
Green and NDP should be same level imo.
Nah Elizabeth may used to be a conservative, her party and her position is still a bit more to the right then the NDP.
@@jnonya7743 but petty differences compares to LibCons. GreeNDP would have a voice. Apart, they don't.
You should do a chart like this on the smaller Canadian political Parties like The Communist party and the Rhinoceros Party and the Christian Heritage Party
Bridger Bowen Is the Rhino party a real thing or a joke cause on Tv I saw an ad on the Rhino Party and thought it was a joke
@@deathbygrapes5 The Rhino Party is actually an officially registered political party. But it only gets a few thousand votes each election
Yes I think the Liberal party is way more to the left and the Conservative party is less right than you placed them
A one-dimensional scale is inadequate to place political parties. In political science you'd generally use at least two dimensions, a cultural one and an economic one. The way you describe it, the liberals would then be in the upper right quadrant, being economically to the right but culturally liberal. They seem like a classic European liberal party.
Save Canada vote Max Bernier 2019
No. Get lost.
It seems there is a void wanting to be filled between the Conservatives and the Liberals. Is it the social policy that puts the Peoples' Party to the right of the Conservatives or economics, or both?
vote for Maxime Bernier at the People's Party of Canada
100% agree with this, I’m sick of people saying the greens are left of NDP
