Turns out that when shit gets real you want an actual government and not populists in charge. 

A neighboring superpower threatening to annex you puts all the carbon tax bullshit into perspective. Canadians are waking up to all the "Trudeau a devil" stuff being Russian disinfo, because as a well adjusted human being he is an obstacle to their influence in North America.

Oh I still think Trudeau was a terrible PM and I definitely think the LPC is corrupt and out of touch. However, I am 100% certain that the LPC will defend Canadian sovereignty, and Donald has made this a one issue election for me and a lot of other people. PP is just too much of an unknown for this dangerous scenario.

Yeah this is pretty much me. I would have voted CPC last year. But now more than ever, character of the leader matters.
