Not excusing him. I stopped reading his articles years ago. Yet I do sympathize with him.
He lived seeing what the Liberals did to the fishing industry. Collapsing the industry in his native Newfoundland, only to see foreign boats fish away. Then to see prosperity return early 2000s and collapse again, with the Liberals pushing more ideological restrictions on a hurting industry, while foreign groups drink our milkshake.
He comes from a hard work blue collar background and respects those principles. I think watching JT and Butts hail from privilege and mess with so many folks lives has pushed him to fight back against what he doesn’t respect.
I mean look at how the Liberals promised all that retraining for a green economy that hasn’t materialized, yet they are fairly happy to constrain Canadian livelihoods. Its a story he and all of us have seen before.
