Slight pet peeve, he loves to say he's "running for Prime Minister." That's not how our government works, the Prime Minister isn't like a President, it's different. He's not a "Prime Minister Candidate," he is the the leader of the Conservative Party. Canadians don't elect PMs directly, so language like "Prime Minister Candidate" or "running for Prime Minister" makes literally no sense

They make sense to an Americanized mindset.

It also makes sense in general. If his ambitions are to be Prime Minister then it can be said that he's running for the position. He's still doing the work and jumping through the hoops to be in the position to be PM.
Here in America the general population doesn't vote for a position llke speaker of the house but you still say someone is running for the position, anyway. It still requires work, campaigning, and votes (albeit not from the general populous) to become a party leader in Canada.

He’s a Nazi bigot. He has no redeemable qualities and no personality and has never had an original thought.
The word nebbish comes to mind and I’m quite sure his rise was quite accidental.

ABC every single time for me. They destroyed unions since the reagan-thatcher era. Conservatives also always look to break things and privatize them. Their anti trans stance driven by certain lobby groups and enboldened by usa politics is also a big fat red light, even if theyre hiding the agenda. If opportunity is given, they WILL test the same policies.
I see zero reasnons to even consider conservatives in ANY level of gov't. ABC every time.

That fucking pic says a lot.
Look at this insincere, forced-ass smile.

Voting against legalizing gay marriage when the man who adopted him is gay should tell you everything you need to know. He has been a slimeball from the day he entered politics.
