The snowflakes, oops righties, are going apoplectic. The Cons had this thing wrapped right up tight just a couple of weeks ago and the election is a month away. How did they fuck up so badly, so quickly? They are so sensitive, how will they survive living in a "communist" country for another 3 or 4 years?
This is indeed symptomatic of how fragile the Conservative Party is. They're relying on voter fatigue with the Liberals, not strong policy, to put them in power. It's a stupid strategy. And they're finding out that was Trudeau, not the LPC, who Canadians were tired of.
Pierre Poilievre had the perfect opportunity to capitalise on current events with Trump and the US .... and he fucking blew it. All he had to do was thump anti-Trump and pro-Canada sentiment with constituents -- just like Carney is doing -- but he chose not to. Instead, he's still rambling on about "verbing the noun" on nonsense. I think he's changed his campaign slogan 10 times since Carney took over the LPC.
And the funny thing is, Mark Carney is far better aligned with the values of the Progressive Conservative Party of the 1980s and 1990s than of a 2020s Liberal.
The only hope the CPC has have remaining viable is to basically go back to being the PCs and using the People's Party as a dumping ground for their social conservatives and other scumbags.
And if one more CPC supporter tells me this can't be done, well, then accept the consequences.
