This guy has a detached home in Airdrie which he and my cousin bought during the "lost liberal decade". They bought it for just before COVID for around $500k and it is probably worth 650-700k now. They have a daughter with government subsidized daycare, his wife is a social worker employed by the government...
It's anecdotal, but a fascinating contrast of personal situation versus political platform. I'm convinced it all comes down to transphobia which is the only thing he seems to align with PP on on actuality. Although I don't get the transphobia either, since it has never affected him in his life. I guess that goes back to the indoctrination though.

What also drives me nuts is the weaponizing of buzzwords like: libtard, woke, right-winger. This, in turn, has falsely changed the meanings of actual words like liberal, conservatism, etc...
I've heard a few people rail against socialism. FFS, I had to correct them to add that Canada AND the US are socialist. At the least, these countries have MANY socialist elements.
The
Conservatism that some people want is not conservatism. It's closer to libertarian. Mark Carney is closer to textbook conservatism than Danielle Smith.
Just basic grade 7 stuff that a lot of people can't or don't want to grasp.
