It’s surprising to me that conservatives still struggle to understand after all these years what Canadians despise or, at best, manage to just barely tolerate about what the CPC has become.

Easy to convince yourself centrist, pragmatic policies are suddenly popular because a Liberal is standing behind them. Unfortunately there’s failure to learn the lesson at hand if you actually believe that, which is what is going to keep the CPC and their supporters as losers.

Eventually, someone within that party and those supporting it need to wake up.
Any potential votes you would lose from the Maple MAGA crowd you would gain from people holding their noses and voting Liberal.

I just don't understand the thought process, unless they are firmly in the grasp of the nutjobs.
