PCBaller World (Unofficial)/Canada

=Overview=

The Peoples Dominion of Canada (or PDC, but usually only called Canada) is an alternate reality in which Canada becomes a Libertarian Social Democratic state, and its parliament more closely resembles the standard EU partisan system (think Germany) after a brief brush with fascism.

WARNING!!! This AU is incredibly unrealistic. It contains events that most likely will never happen, and even fake people, including the quasi-main-character Antonio Crerar, which is pretty much a self-insert character. What I mean to say is that I may get some things wrong and there are a lot of fictitious elements to this, but if you're ok with some of that, then let us get on with the show!

=What do I mean by "EU partisan system"=

When I say "EU partisan system", I of course mean the fairly standard template of political parties that appear in the European Union. Think of the parties in the current parliament of Germany, and that's what I'm talking about.

Parties follow this style of template:


 * [[File:Socdem.png]] Workers Party - Wants a society of solidarity via the welfare state and wealth redistribution from the 1% to the 99%
 * [[File:Conservative.png]] Peoples Party - Is more conservative and more business-oriented
 * [[File:USLibertarians.png]] Liberals - wants freedom via a free market, a smaller state, and total civil liberty
 * [[File:Envi.png]] Greens - wants to save the environment and makes that its top priority, is otherwise the worker's party
 * [[File:Statist.png]] National Conservatives - very protectionist and wants everything to be localized
 * [[File:Lpop.png]] Far Left - thinks the worker's party doesn't go far enough
 * [[File:Natcon.png]] Right Wing Populists - thinks the conservation party doesn't go far enough

while of course the parties aren't completely perfect, this is the shape Canada takes over time. For a better explanation, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eArjf9OzZE. - watch this video] its really helpful for when I say the "party roles".

=History=

[[File:Prog-u.png]] 2025-2028 [[File:Conlib.png]]
Our story begins with the Canadian Federal Election of 2025. with the Canadian Populus annoyed by the inactions of The Trudeau administration and the Liberal Party, they decide to swing overwhelmingly to the right and voted in mass for the Conservative party, however, there are some New Democrats who are gaining seats too.

The seats in Parliament for 2025 look something like this:

Conservatives (Pierre Poilievre): 200 Liberals (Justin Trudeau): 71 NDP (Jagmeet Singh): 35 Bloc Québécois (Yves-Francois Blanchet): 32 ': 5  ': 1

As you can see, the overwhelming swing to the right got the Conservative Party a pretty decent majority government. This majority allowed the Tories to pass some fairly anti-labour policies, like the Wage and growth act, which officially lowered the lowest possible minimum wage to $10 an hour, and the Economic movement act which restricted striking rights for members of all sectors. These economic policies were enacted so easily via a coalition with the Liberal Party, which was becoming more and more ECONOMICALLY liberal with each passing year. This total economic control made Pierre's wing of the Tories hungry.... so on top of passing economic bills, they would also pass bills with a heavy emphasis on centralism, and increasing federal control. The once fairly Libertarian Pierre Poilievre was going further and further to the Auth Right.

[[File:Lpop.png]] 2029-2032 [[File:Altr.png]]
This regression to the Auth Right was not only done for the Conservatives, but due to the majority being only 11 seats short of the largest majority in Canadian history, The Bloc Québécois and the Peoples Party of Canada followed a similar regression further right, with the typically center-left Bloc getting a new leader from the Coalition Avenir Quebec and moving towards the center-right and embracing economic liberalism to fill a more, national conservative role in parliament, and with Maxime Bernier plunging further into the Alt-Right.

With the ideological changes of the Liberals, Bloc, and PPC to the right, the next federal election occurs, and the seats look a bit like this.

Conservatives (Pierre Poilievre): 178 NDP (Jagmeet Singh): 74 Liberals (Justin Trudeau): 54 Bloc Québécois (Mario Asselin): 32 ': 5  ': 3   : 1

In contrast to the swing to the right, the Canadian left has also gotten more radical as well. This is most clearly seen in the newest party in parliament, the Marxists. Created by a merger of the Communist Party of Canada and the Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada, the party wishes to instil Marxist ideals into legislation, and thanks to 3 new seats in Toronto-Danforth, Ville-Marie--Le Sud-Ouest--Île-des-Soeurs, and Winnipeg South, they're able to bring that influence, however small it may be. The greens stay the same, but the biggest shift is in the NDP...

[[File:LibSocDemIcon.png]] 2033-2036 [[File:QuasiFash.png]]
While the NDP reached its first opposition status since 2011 and Jack Layton, they still were restless. It seemed that they were the only ones that knew about the horrors of the Tories' plunge into the far right, as Prime Minister Polievre started incorporating policies akin to fascism. Around this time as well, party leader Jagmeet Singh started to feel fatigued by his leadership position. The immense pressure from his caucus made him yearn for a lighter role, as he was unready for the role he would need to take in Canadian history. The socialist members and caucus were getting impatient and Jagmeet just wanted to be with his family, so in 2030, Jagmeet Signh would step down as leader of the Federal NDP. This would lead to an immediate party election in which members of the Shadow Cabinet, Member of Parliament candidates, and people with constituency memberships could vote for the new leader of the party. The race came down to two candidates.

the first of which was the moderate faction's choice of Heather MacPherson from Edmonton Strathcona. MacPherson had been the party's deputy whip, and critic for Foreign Affairs and International Development for quite some time at that point, so the NDP elite expected her to win. handily.

The second was the socialist faction's choice of Antonio Crerar from Spadina-Fort York. While only becoming a member of parliament in the previous election, and only fully entering electoral politics the year before, the brand new critic for democracy and deputy critic for labour and LGBTQ+ Rights wasn't completely out of experience. He had been an activist for years at that point and studied all he would need to know whilst getting his political science major at Toronto Metropolitan University. So while being incredibly young, he wasn't out of the picture.

With the shadow cabinet and mp votes, MacPherson would almost win by the narrowest margins, however, with the overwhelming grassroots support of the constituency members, Crerar would slide away with the victory. A socialist was the leader of the NDP for the first time in decades. Throughout the rest of this term, Crerar would fiercely lead the charge against Prime Minister Polievre's quasi-fascism, and while he couldn't stop the tories near National Capitalist economic policies, he would narrowly protect civil rights with every fibre of his being.

Throughout the past few years, the quality of life for Canadians would go down drastically, and within this term, Canadians would become wise to the near fascist path Canada would undertake. So come the next election, a huge shift in the guard would become a reality.

here are the seats for the 2033 Federal election:

NDP (Antonio Crerar): 133 Conservatives (Pierre Poilievre): 55 Liberals (Justin Trudeau): 43 : 39  Bloc Québécois (Mario Asselin): 34 ': 33  ': 1

The Canadian left would come out in droves to do something no one ever thought the true LEFT could do, go out and fucking vote. This allowed for a large upswell in New Democrat votes, including the entire city of Toronto (except for Toronto-Danforth, which continues to be held by Marxist Party leader Elizabeth Rowley), as well as most of Ottawa, Regina, Halifax, Charlottetown, and most other areas. The green party would make major gains in British Colombia, including almost all of Vancouver, and the Marxists would make major gains in Manitoba, including all of Winnipeg, as well as most of Montreal.

In this term, the new government would fix a lot of major problems in the country, including the private healthcare monopoly, the resolution of the public school system, nearly non-existent worker's rights and environmental protections, and the rights of the LGBTQ+ community, which were hanging by a thread. He would also put in place a protectionist foreign trade policy to protect local workers, creating a fair-trade economy. This would instate a transitional Social Democratic state, which would take Canada from having the worst quality of life of any first-world country and a nation of fear for civil rights to the highest quality of life of any country in the world by far and a leftist haven.

[[File:LiberalsocALT.png]] 2037-2041 [[File:Libconserv3.png]]
Prime Minister Crerars's progressive utopia is coming to fruition, and the other parties are starting to take note as well. The Conservatives have blacklisted Pierre Polievre and his caucus from the party, allowing far more moderate candidates to take the stage, like the new leader and former economic development critic Pat Kelly. The Liberals also hoist their leader from the leadership position in favour of blue grit Tom Osborne. The Bloc Quebecois has swung back to the economic left, embracing paternalistic conservatism in its non-separation-based policies. The Greens get a new leader in their indigenous affairs critic Angela "Rainbow Eyes" Davidson after hoisting Elizabeth May from the position for being a conspiracy theorist nutjob, and after the 2037 election, the New Democrats finally take a stab at something they never thought they could do, transferring the means of production.

Speaking of the 2037 election, the results look a little something like this:

NDP (Antonio Crerar): 150 Conservatives (Pat Kelly): 50 Liberals (Tom Osbourne): 43 ': 35  ': 33   Bloc Québécois (Mario Asselin): 25 : 1

As you can see, the New Democrats have amassed an even bigger majority, but not only that, a bigger seat count for left-wing parties to give him the ability to gradually increase funding into the cooperative sector and decrease funding to the private sector, as well as massively tax multi-national corporations with fairly little push back. So much so that by the end of the term, the Canadian market was mostly made by ethical and THRIVING Employee Owned Businesses/Worker's co-ops, and whatever private corporations were left were hanging on solely by foreign influence, as they were all international chains. This allowed for an achievement of true, democratic socialism, and while folks on the far left just call it "co-op capitalism" and folks on the right call it "communism", whatever it was it simply worked.

Aftermath
This is when the detailed story of the Peoples' Dominion of Canada comes to an end. I imagine that the success of the PDC would inspire other countries to try a similar path with them almost reaching that amount of success, but that's a story for another page. I also imagine that Antonio Crerar becomes so beloved that he stays prime minister until he retires, with varying seat counts of course, but it's really up to you. So without further ado, let's get into what the parties of the PDC look like in detail!

=Parliamentary Parties=

Please note that the ideologies it is compared with are all within the socialist economy of the Peoples' Dominion of Canada, so any ideology that influences the party, technically the parties would be the cooperativist version of them.
