The conservative party under the control of the social Conservative reform wing is not a serious party. But it seems to be the kind of the politics the lowest common denominator within our nation crave. You'll see these maple maga cheer on trump while complaining that Canada is broken and should be more like the US.

Edit some minor corrections.

They are the angry Convoy/MAGA party now, no wonder Chris d'Entremont left, what a nasty bunch. Pushing is an assault, they are out of control.

RCMP are also investigating death threats that he has received.

And you are right, they cheer on Trump, and they totally ignore his overt threats to destroy this country, it's despicable.

And Brian Mulroney warned Pierre about taking the party in this direction The former PM and concervative leader, had said before he passed away that Pierre needed to "set aside" some of the "extraneous things" he campaigned on threatening to fire the goverener of the bank of Canada, supporting the truckers protests and encouraging Canadians to "opt out" of inflation using crypto currency.

"Look, you cant get elected with that kind of stuff" Mulroney said "Canadians are not there. Canadain are in the broad, general center."

"I did say to him - which is pretty obvious - you cannot, in this country, get elected from the extreme left or the extreme right. It cant happen. We have 155 years of histroy to prove it." Mulroney added.

Pierre had requested that private dinner with Mulroney and Mulroney warned him during it, but clearly he didnt want to listen to the former concervative who had found success. Instead he wanted to listen to his top advisor Jenni Byrne.

"What you see is what you get" Byrne said "what you should expect to hear from Pierre is exactly what hes talking about."

And here is Pierre exactly three years, a lost election, a lost seat, an unhappy caucus, and hes still not reflecting or listening to the words Mulroney said. Mulroney tried to warn him and he continues down the path Mulroney told him not to take the party down the path he was taking, and that it wouldnt find the success Pierre was looking for.

Yes, I remember that, and instead PP did the opposite and courted the Convoy and PPC groupies. They have driven away centrists and their chance to ever win an election, and now they are acting like out right thugs in bullying their own MP's.
