  • Realistically, can/will anything be done, even for a greater chance at a Conservative minority, never mind an ABC government?

    The Liberals have been running on “we aren’t the Conservatives” since the early 2000s. They got into government when they articulated a vision in 2015. It helped that Harper had hit his sell-buy date, but whatever.

    The ABC thing feels like crying wolf. It only works for so long. Meanwhile, the Liberals haven’t provided a vision (or likeable policy) since the pandemic. It’s easy to see why voters want to switch it up.












  • A lot of people are hurting economically. A handful of the population came out of the pandemic better than they went in, but most have been nailed hard by inflation. People expect to be worse off than their parents.

    It’s the result of decades of mismanagement (from Liberals and Conservatives), but for whatever reason, the right seems to be doing a much better job of capitalizing on it.
