The only upside that I can see is that Canadians will have a year to see what a trump style government can do to a country… Also a trump style government is the same as a poilievre government.

Maximum rationalisation mode: Maybe Conservatives will now be so confident that they’ve already won the next election that those of them who are just feigning the hate for trans people, gays, immigrants, refugees, socialists, liberals, opponents of fascism, and whatever other scapegoats they can find in order to win popular support will feel that they can safely tone it down a little and just coast to victory without needing to stir up even more fear and anger.

Having seen Poillievre, I don’t think he will do this.

If he just shuts up about “the woke” and just talks about the price of milk, he’d have this in the bag, but he can’t shut up about “the woke” because the kind of people who vote in CPC conventions talk about “woke” all the goddamn time, and he knows that if doesn’t go on about “the woke” some opportunistic usurper will shiv him.

I sorely wish the CPC party members had voted for Chong or kept O’Toole. I’d be annoyed about austerity spending, but not worried about fascism.
