well, i'm actually going to argue that my position on immigration is not right-wing, but unabashedly marxist - and that this is a good example of where liberals and leftists disagree. it's also just about the only thing that trudeau is really even a liberal on; he's a moderate conservative on everything else.

so, i'm once again arguing on the left of the liberals....but, that's ok - it's the ndp that are weird here, spectrum-wise.

regardless, nobody is 100% this or that, and you'll find plenty of liberals that lean to the right on immigration - as well as plenty of conservatives that lean to the centre. that's not where my head is, but that's the reality. and, so maybe the more important thing i'm pushing back on regarding spectrum politics is the idea of this as a ballot issue.

so, i'm not a liberal that's leaning right on immigration - i'm a leftist that is taking a pretty textbook marxist position on it, even if that's rare amongst leftists nowadays (who tend to be liberal on immigration,). i'm weird because i'm not mixing spectra - i'm weird because i'm ideologically pure on the point. but, if i was a liberal leaning right on immigration, i wouldn't see it as a ballot question.

if i disagree with doug ford on a hundred things, and agree with him on one (even though that's not actually even true, here - our positions are not at all the same.), i'm not going to ignore the hundred things and vote for the one. that would be rather foolish.

and, it would be just as foolish for you to define me that way, if it were even true in the first place.
