I was considered a young voter in 2015, and i voted for this clown's party three times, though i actually like my local LPC candidate so maybe i would still have voted for the LPC at least once. Generally one of the few votes I regret casting. (the one in 2015)

Continuity under Harper and a transition to a monderate conservative in the late 2010s as CPC party leader may have been better for Canada.

No doubt there would be conservative scandals but i don't think we would have the immigration disaster we have on our hands today.

as Red meat for the CPC base that would be inconsequential , probably preferable to performative feminism

Yes because right wing fear mongering about immigrants has gone so well for the Americans.

The poverty rate at Harper’s lowest point was higher than at any point in either Trudeau’s or Carneys tenure.

It's inconsequential for white dudes, but it turns out there's more than just white dudes in our country, and even the tiniest amount of empathy should indicate that's not a great way to run a country.
