Non-voters and the usual 3rd who would've sold us out to Trump.

The same portion of the US public that allowed him to get elected in the first place. And to get re-elected.

All I'm saying is it's a similar situation here and Carney could be our limp dick Biden.

Trump doing things is actually what gives me hope. If the trade war hadn't happened we'd be following the US trajectory exactly, and PP would currently be PM. As it is, Doug Ford is kind of repeating what Churchill did way back when, starting fascist-aligned and then moving off, and might be the next Conservative to actually win.

Hey that's refreshingly optimistic in a realistic way for once, can't knock that view.

My concern is less about the figurehead of the Conservatives vs the undeniable rot of the party behind the scenes. Living in Alberta has admittably darkened my views to a massive degree.

Yeah, it's grim times here. Good news is that acting crazy is finally having an impact on Danielle's polls, and Nenshi is a very strong candidate come next election.
