    You can also look to Manitoba for a more positive outcome. The PC started going a little too far right, and they got voted out. Maybe DUI-Hank Hill finds the same fate.

      Or Harper’s Barbaric Cultural Practice snitch line.

          Thing is they could have marketed it as a domestic abuse hotline and actually gained votes, but I guess they couldn’t grok the concept without racism.

            Oh no, they knew.

            Harper was either getting cocky at that point and giving into his base instincts, or he was pressured by the the increasingly radical direction of the party and was trying not to get knifed by some up-and-coming fascist bootlicker like Scheer or Poillevre.

            I’m betting it’s a bit of both, frankly.

      The CPC started going a little too far right, and they got voted out.

      I wish I agreed that this was an accurate description of the election - the PCs were projected to lose before they took the hard right turn, and then their final turnout was arguably higher than projected.

        The 2023 election that happened last week. I meant PC not CPC, that’s on me. Thanks for point it out
