Remember when the conservative party had the veneer of morality and decency, with unwavering support for the rule of law? Neither do they.
But they claim they do, and always did, so long as you don't ask follow-up questions.
I’m an American but I assume it’s probably the fault of our conservatives
Funny you say that. One of our province's far right premiers, blamed "progressives" for the same kind of rhetoric in Canada that led to the Trump shooting in the US.

Sounds like she's getting her taking points from South of the border
She is. There's a coordinated effort among party strategists across borders.
In case you wonder why the biggest fear of conservatives is trans-national labour unions, it's because they work trans-nationally, know how well it works, and are terrified of the poors doing the same thing.

One thing that's crazy is during 2008 Canada was one of the only countries where were no housing busts or bank failures. It was explained at the time that they didn't deregulate like the US did in the 90s, and didn't go crazy with Eurodollar and derivative speculation like the European banks.
The takeaway was that in Canada banking is still a boring business managed by professional adults, overseen by stern but fair regulators who would ensure that things don't get out of hand.
So what the hell happened? Seemed like the Canadian government and finance people took the lesson that they missed out on a hell of a party and they're going to have their own housing bubble with blackjack and whatnot.
Our politicians have been importing the US's politics for ages, even when it doesn't apply to us
It's the conservative propaganda that's been blaring since the 60's. Nothing but hatred and idiocy for decades. Blaming Democrats for issues that don't exist or aren't their fault. Never giving a proper solution to anything, just spewing more hate and lies daily.
American conservatives just provided the route; it took our own cruel elitists to walk that road.
Unfortunately, The Honorable Leader of HM Official Opposition Mr Polievre is quite likely to sleepwalk into a job as Canada’s next Prime Minister. The current PM is so reviled by Canadians (according to polls - a type of lie know as Statistics), it seems possible that no one in the Liberal Party will be successful in the next election. I’m ashamed to say it’s a good time to be an ex-pat.
This article's question reminded me of and old and dark joke: when "power user" comes to the grizzled sysadmin with a printout of his very first program and asks "sir, can you see where the error is" to which grizzled sysadmin replied "in DNA" without ever looking away from his screen. Same here.. problem is in DNA of conservatism. They are attached to material stuff thus with each iteration removing themselves further from humanity. It's i escapable for them to end up here.
his very first program
Who's very first program? The sysadmin or powerruser? Neither of them are likely to make programs, and idk why anyone would bring a printout of a program to a sysadmin to inspect.
I can't tell if this is self-deprecation of sysadmin or a PEBCAK joke.
This likely originates from the Before Times when universities would have a full time sysadmin who would often write some of the software for the computer system/network at the university. See Bastard Operator From Hell for an example.
All conservatives are trash. That's what.
This is honestly a useless article. No conservative will be swayed by it and it reads like liberal morality preaching.
Welcome to modern politics, a never ending blame game and holier than thou preaching from both sides
Nothing is wrong with our Conservatives in comparison to the Liberals
Arguing whataboutism shows more about you than anything else.
Liberals are bad
But the conservatives are even worse and that says a lot.God I wish JT actually followed through on his original campaign promise of election reform.
The Liberals are spineless and not willing to fight the status quo unless prodded by some other party that's propping up their minority government.
The Conservatives are evil.
Neither are ideal choices, but I'll take spineless over evil any day of the week.
You sure about that?
