I hope the other people he mentioned who are also fed up with being a pure obstructionist government break off and form an actually progressive Conservative Party, and PP can fuck off and run the PPC with Bernier.

    If enough conservatives cross the floor, maybe Canadians will recognize the Liberal party as the progressive conservative party it is and let the NDP own the left.

    Traditionally, Canadians have been socially liberal and fiscally conservative and fairly “centrist” overall. That has mostly described the Liberals with the Conservatives mostly coming in to power after periods where the Liberals have been less fiscally conservative.

    The NDP struggles to create a national mandate as they are perceived as too fiscally left (what gets the Liberals in trouble). The Conservatives are sometimes seen as too socially right, opening the door for the Liberals.

    Carney's managed to get PP whine about him discussing Alberta's oil pipe dreams of all things... Canadians are catching on that Pierre will not be happy even if Conservatives get stuff they have presently or previously campaigned for.

    Neither will settle for being second banana to the other. They would fight for control and further weaken the already irrelevant PPC.

    Which is absolutely fine with me. The party of misfit politicians needs to remain irrelevant.
