In Canada, we have at least 4 major political parties, and a few others that usually get a seat or two in parliament. The NDP is the third party (one time they had enough seats to form the official opposition). Anyway, only the Liberals and the Conservatives have ever been in power; every 10 years it seems to swing back and forth.

Jagmeet Singh, current leader of the NDP, tweeted the other day something along the lines of "Systemic racism comes from the power structures in place. If you want to find the source of systemic racism in Canada, you have to look at the parties who have been in power for the last 150 years: the Liberals and the Conservatives."
