Not that I'm suggesting that you personally have any real impact on the election obviously, I'm saying in general, that sort of thing is obnoxious and counterproductive. Plus it makes you sound like Johnny Makarov and that's not anywhere anyone should want to be.

I think people can have reasonable concerns about a CPC government, even if PP is saying the right things now, based on their rhetoric and the assortment of garbage humans they continue to associate with (i.e. freedom convoyers). Alberta is a great example of how party members can hijack an already right-wing party and make it an even bigger and more incompetent embarrassment.
Proof of this can also be seen in their continued failure to properly vet candidates and/or remove the ones who say and believe vile things (see: Aaron Gunn).
