Looks like PP is going to win the leadership race.

Cons are going to do it again. Alienate their moderate voters and give a massive portion no choice but to vote liberal.
Split the party up for fucks sakes. Make another reasonable centrist party to compete with liberals and let the cons end up with the PPC.

Pretty crazy | It seems like that is the kind of guy Patrick Brown has always been -- his organizing + mobilizing skills have been one of his forte, and many believed that was his ace to the leadership race.
It is really a shame that Brown got DQ -- he seems to be a pragmatic moderate that could do well for the Conservative Party. Mind you -- I don't think he was going to win the leadership race even if he was still in it. In fact, with him being DQ-ed now, Jean Charest would likely have a much better chance at challenging Poilievre since there was a lot of overlap between Charest and Brown in terms of policy and supporter base.

Pretty crazy | I would not be surprised if some of browns staff where signing up people and then reimbursing them for the cost.
I wonder if PP is going to bring back the barbaric cultural practices hotline?

I’m gonna be fucking chapped if “Christian values” become mentioned in our politics if the cons get in.

Split the party up for fucks sakes. Make another reasonable centrist party to compete with liberals and let the cons end up with the PPC. | I think the Conservative strategy is this:
- They know that a slight majority of Canadians are probably suffering from Trudeau/Liberal fatigue. Most federal governments don't survive more than 3 elections.
- There's enough outrage in places like Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit (and other forums) where they can count on the support of blue-collar, lower-middle income Canadians and perhaps disenchanted millennials who blindly put their faith in Trudeau 7 years ago to give them a house, relieve their student debt, and solve climate change.
- Make peace with Francois Legault and state that a Conservative government would not challenge the Quebec government's Bill 96 or Bill 21 and dress it up on the guise of supporting provincial autonomy/freedom
It could be enough to squeak in with a minority of seats.

Brown afraid PP will turn the cons into the GOP.
PP has a former trump adviser working for him.

Pretty clear correlation to the shittiest people you have to deal with at your job also being the shittiest people you have to deal with in society.

All these glowing reports with similar headlines from the government-funded media on Trudeau's stamped visit, yet no video?

An organic and spontaneous "mob" of JT supporters just happened to manifest at an unannounced 6am visit at the Stampede? I have a bridge to sell you.

Lol yea everywhere he goes there’s nothing but protests and yelling yet in Calgary at the stampede of all places he’s welcomed with open arms and allowing people to get right up to him? Seems suspect
He’s looking hella “boss” though in that cowboy hat and flannel

I mean, he has enough supporters that he, you know, won the election to make him the prime minister, so it’s not that hard to believe that there are enough supporters around to make him look good every once in a while.
Stampede isn’t just a redneck rally. Most people there are just normal people going to get shitfaced and listen to terrible music.

Most people who voted him in seem too embarrassed to ever publicly admit it though. Maybe it’s that stampede liberal mob mentality lol

Most people who voted liberals will pretty openly admit there was no other choice.
NDP wasn’t a viable option, con’s easily could be if they’d fix their internal issues with people who belong in the PPC or to somehow join the Republican Party.
People get starstruck for anyone. People even get excited to see Chad Kroger for fucks sakes.
Idolizing politicians is fucking embarrassing for whoever you support. Look at the pp suck fest that goes on at his rallies.

If you mean voting Liberal, I mean they're basically the natural governing party of Canada for the past 150 years. Why would anyone try and hide the fact they vote Liberal? Are you seriously going around saying you voted for Andrew Scheer's Conservatives? Jagmeet Singh's NDP? Bernier's PPC? You'd probably be laughed at behind your back in mixed company.
