How someone can be conservative these days is wild based on the fact the libs are just the same party without the conspiracy theories or the fake religious bullshit to justify bigotry.
There is literally no reason to vote for the cons platform wise because it would be basically the same as the libs but with some removal of public health and education.

PP's current platform is "Don't cross the floor."

Hey guys I got a great idea for a TV show. Imagine a politician how is the leader of the opposition. But suddenly his party loses confidence in him. So he has to move out of his mansion in Ottawa to a small town in Alberta with his family. I call the show Poilievre's creek. What do you guys think?

lol imagine how horrendous it would be to hear PP’s voice for half an hour a week.
I think the funniest part would be the production being done by the network that he threatened to shut down.

The strategy of going after people who are angry and disillusioned is not a bad strategy; arguably, the conservative movement has done quite well to mobilize this demographic.
However, I woild argue that grievance politics has a ceiling in Canada, which has a higher rate of post secondary education, including a disproportionate percentage of people with university degrees. People who are university educated generally have a more nuanced perspective on the world.

I'm trying to have hope that people are beginning to become sick of this grievance style politics, not only here, but in the US.
You already hear people sick of hearing complaints about gender/trans/pronoun crap, its become hacky to even bring that stuff up now. It's like people have realized all this stuff are just obscure wedge issues being used by establishment figures to garner votes and engagement.
It's become clearer to these people with Trump running on all these wedge issues, getting into office and pretty much acting like a standard corrupt crony Republican, and showing that they never really cared about any of these stupid issues they grandstanded for years about ahead of the election. Mandani was another example of the cynicism these guys carry, throwing the most ridiculous boogyman labels on the guy, and none of it worked.
The Conservatives have some real soul-searching to do, it's no coincidence they're falling apart in BC, and federally.
This style of contrarian politics is getting fucking old.
