How ####ing dumb are Conservatives?

If they do actually keep him on, these people are perhaps dumber than the MAGA folk down south.

Peter "It's all my fault" McKay was on CBC yesterday saying the same thing.

“I expect two more [floor crossings], at least,” one Conservative caucus member told National Post. “Poilievre will continue to die a death of 1,000 cuts, because I’ve never seen a guy who’s so unaware of the room he’s in, and I’ve never seen a guy who just refuses to stop doing stupid things.”

Pretty damning!

Indigenous leaders in Manitoba are calling it a major step forward after a federal court ruling confirmed Canada has a legal duty to provide adequate housing on First Nations communities.

The ruling affirms that Canada has an obligation to ensure adequate on-reserve housing. It stems from a class action brought forward by St. Theresa Point and Sandy Lake First Nation, where both have dealt with decades of chronic housing shortages.

Evidence presented showed one in four homes in St. Theresa Point are uninhabitable, and more than half in Sandy Lake require major repairs.

“Prime Minister this is your courts talking, so honour it,” said Chief Delores Kakegamic, Sandy Lake First Nation.

Manitoba Chiefs say this ruling confirms that safe housing is a Treaty and constitutional obligation, and that it validates a fight stretching back to the 1909 Adhesion to Treaty 5 — years of underfunding that left Nations without control over their housing systems.

I don't hope for that... at some point voters will opt for someone/anyone new (even if the option is terrible), when that happens I would prefer it not be someone incompetent.

MacKay was saying present-day Conservatives are f-cking dumb, or that he 100% believes that PP will pass the review and continue to lead the CPC (and as a result that they're f-cking dumb)?

He thinks Pierre will have no problem passing the leadership review. I think it would be a stretch of transitive properties to suggest that Peter also recognizes that makes them f-cking dumb. I do not believe he is that aware on this subject, or perhaps anything else.

Pretty damning!

A reminder that O'Toole was kicked out by 62% of the caucus vote for not being right enough and implementing a climate change policy, and Poilievre was voted in with 68% of the vote to move the party further to the right.

When everyone is angry at the incumbent, and you are yelling with the crowd at just how bad they are, it's easy to win as it looks like you are looking out for constituents.

When everyone is angry at your neighbour instead for threatening you, the incumbent is gone, and you are yelling at the new leader instead of your neighbour, you are completely out of touch and lost the plot.
