Excellent post. Agreed Conservatives should not dump their leader. But I also think the threat of that happening is very small. I'm know a lot of Conservatives and I can't name you one who thinks the party would be better off with a Ford or a Houston. Poilievre is actually in the sweet spot for the party, which is a free markets conservative but not anti-union or so-con. He inspired a ton of people who don't normally vote and a lot who normally vote NDP. Yes he turned off a lot of older and female voters with his smug, mansplainy tone, but Mark Carney can seem arrogant too, and Pierre learned by the end of the campaign how to appear more likeable. He's not going anywhere.

Thank you both; Matt with a bad wing and Jenn with allergies and a lot of alcohol. I was flipping feeds as your feed did not have a ticker, with the seats like Juno , Rebel, CPAC, but my 13 year old wanted you guys on, all the time. He said he liked your energy and banter. As I write this, I am fearful a few feckless NDPers will cross the floor and we are screwed for 4 more years with a Liberal progressive government, bringing in policies eschewed by liberal democracies in Europe. Not one word about Portugal and Spain going dark yesterday when their net zero grid went down. Canada better get ready once Carnage Carney and his Eco Green Zealot wife take over. The irony, as she comes from a wealthy pig farm in the UK but is concerned about methane. Oh well, new referendum in Alberta started today.
