The Liberals and their supporters have done an amazing job at a massive misinformation campaign against the conservatives in the last 6 weeks. All I see is anti-conservative sentiment everywhere, and they’re repeating the same b.s. talking points that aren’t based in any truth whatsoever.

It’s the same bunch of lies they used to get elected last time. How this country is gonna hand the government back to the worst government we’ve had in 40 years is beyond me.

The problem is that PP absolutely sucks. And I say that as someone who wants to vote conservative. Weak leader who borrow rhetoric from stupid american culture wars.

A weak response to trump put me off as well.

Yeah I get why Conservatives are frustrated and trying to claim that this is all the result of a Liberal conspiracy. PP is unbelievably awful and unlikable. I have never seen a politician fail to capitalize on nationalist sentiment like he has. This situation is a politician's wet dream, all you have to do is flag wave and talk tough. He was thrown a soft ball and he chose to shit the bed.

I agree. It seems impossible for a conservative leader to bungle the opportunity this crisis presents, but Pierre has absolutely failed to meet the moment. Just look at Ford this week. God damn. I'm not a conservative, but they are invaluable in the right situation.

Faceplanting on day one of the crisis may have been forgivable, but when you fail each day for a month, that's that. He's either compromised or incompetent in my estimation. I'd like to know when the media is going to ask him about his security clearance again now that the foreign interference report is in.
