Full blown maga-qanon crap coming out of the CPC. This is who they are.
At least O’Toole pretended he was capable of keeping the party somewhere near the centre. PP is just doubling down on this whole culture war BS.
Besides, these two gents look exactly like the sort of people I wouldn’t trust around my kids.
Harper was able to keep the party centred, more or less. Mind you, he did it by breaking the proverbial kneecaps of anyone who stepped out of line. He was very aware that backbenchers howling about abortion or gay rights would doom the party.
O’Toole wasn’t as iron-fisted as Harper, which is why he (and any other moderate) haven’t been able to keep control.
Poillevre knows this, which is why his tactic to is just ride the tiger for as long as he can. His problem will be, at some point, the base will demand something he’s not willing or able to do, and he’ll be replaced by the next fascist boot-licker who will.
At which point Harper and his IDU goons will celebrate their long term goals being reached.

One of them already has hate relates charges against him.
If there is a white supremacist, a fascist, a racist or just a plain old asshole then poilievre will be there for a photo op. He is building his base.
The old German saying about sitting at a table with a Nazis
The same applies with racists, homophobes, and any extremist.
If you’re at a table with ten people and a homophobe or racist or any extremist comes, sits down with you all and no one says anything … now you have eleven homophobes, racists or extremists

Harper was a shit PM but was great at managing the CPC to be seen as a viable alternative.
PP’s whole job is to make Trudeau look bad and have no platform.
First time he’s been silent in his whole life.
