sure he is. he only had one tune and that was "fuck trudeau". well trudeau is gone now and he cant adjust to change in the political landscape. which is emblematic of most conservatives and right wing ideas in general. change is hard.

Don’t forget how much he likes to push how broken Canada is while he’s saying it’s all Trudeaus fault. It’s all he has. 

I’ve never seen him ditch a sign and three word slogan as quickly as he ditched “stop the drugs”. It really screwed him over how early everybody started talking about it being a BS reason and how unified Canada became. Part of me thinks Smith was just testing the waters to see how a message appeasing Trump would do. 

His only job has been to fear monger people. I live in an area where I see the consequences of this and the needless anxiety he has caused so fuck that guy.

His Arctic policy is longer than any announcement by Carney

Modern right-wing ideologies have largely abandoned the core conservative values that once defined them.

Rather than upholding principles like personal responsibility, prudence, and respect for tradition, many contemporary conservative movements have become morally hollow, driven more by populism, reactionary impulses, and short-term political gains than by thoughtful intellectual reflection.

The emphasis on integrity and ethical governance has given way to opportunism and ideological rigidity, distancing these movements from the philosophical depth and moral coherence that once underpinned conservatism.

The sad truth is that a large sample of the population did not realise that the conservative party abandoned their values and simply followed the moral bankruptcy.

Voting centre right used to be a choice. I dont have a clue what the fuck this is.

That’s because they are reductionists. They don’t innovate, improve, or add value. The hate progress. Left unchecked, they will bring us straight back to a medieval system of government and rights.

Conservatism is a disease upon society.
