    Well, pp is the federal conservative leader and fraud is the leader of the conservative party in Ontario.

    Normally there is a decent relationship between the federal and provincial parties. These aren’t normal times.

    It could mean a number of things but the thing that stands out to me is it the leader of a major source of support saying no.

      As a BCer I’d agree that is normally the case but there’s significantly more independence between provincial and the federal parties than exists in the US. My example? Christy Clarke, the BC Liberal party former Premier who was more deeply conservative than Doug Ford.

        Yeah, over here in NS we had a NDP leader who was more in the pocket of business than the cons at the time. Our premier distanced himself from pp during the last election. Though he’s pulling all kinds of shady shit that should get a non confidence vote started.
