A few rows back from the empty stage, Amanda Mainville burst into tears, and instantly, every camera in the vicinity swung its lens toward her. She shouted an expletive as she wiped her eyes, bathed in the blue light bouncing off the walls and stage.
Fortunately for her, Jon Gurman and his daughter Raquel were standing nearby, ready the moment the mood turned. Mr. Gurman reached into his jacket and produced a plastic canister labelled “Anti-Liberal Wipes" (“Now with extra logic!” was emblazoned across it) and a metal can of “Anti- Liberal Rash Cream." … The previous night, she had attended the big rally in Mr. Poilievre’s riding of Carleton on the outskirts of Ottawa- where, as of this writing, he was behind and at risk of losing his seat to his Liberal challenger. She found it to be a transformative experience, much different from watching his videos online.
“He fills my soul. When I watch him on the lives, it’s one crying, we were in tears,” she said. “You feel from the soul of Pierre, just bringing that out to everybody.”
In the conservatives mind, this election was close, The conservative voter base has gotten even further right wing, They’re overdue for their Trump Effect takeover like what happened to the Republican party in USA. , where the party doubles down on the ideology.
the Peoples Party has been a flop for the last 3 elections, the only reason it existed was because Bernier was pissed off that he lost the Conservative leadership to Scheer (or was it Otoole?).
Im expecting a civil war within the party, the PPC will probably fold and rejoin the conservatives, and the Conservatives will go even farther right wing next time, Maple MAGA time. The loud populist conspiracy anti woke faction will probably drown out the moderate conservatives.
One part of me hopes the Reform and PCs split again after this, but realistically idk that’s happening. Leslyn Lewis will totally run again, if they’re doubling down on those ideas might be they select her.
any party will do everything they can to remain homogenous (and not split) as long as they think their primary opponent will do the same.
practically, both liberals and cons have signifigant factions that could split away, realistically, they probably wont.
when I said there’d be a war in the conservative party, I didnt mean that it’d split. I think one mindset will drown out the others. and presentley in 2025, Right wing populism and Anti-Establishment attitudes are what is looking like that mindset will be.
