Heya, Tos...
How are you doing today, you good? Asking sincerely, I know there are a lot of disenfranchised conservatives out there this morning.
As I've said before, and what couldn't be more clear this morning, is that the CPC needs to restore their pre-2013 brand and demeanor, and update that energy for the world we're in now, which, as I'm sure you'd agree, looks pretty different from back in those days.
After 4 flops no delusions should remain: Canada does not want a Trump style conservative party in the kind of numbers they'd need to actually form government. Too many of us just don't like assholes up here, which is why the Liberals were on the ropes under Trudeau.
The best thing they could do is put PP to the curb. He reeks of failure, and is representative of the modern CPC infatuation with being argumentative, petty dipshits. Put someone in charge who is both smart and has class, and can stand on their own logic and accomplishments, rather than having their entire existence justified by the alleged failures of others. And they need to stop pandering to their dog shit fringe, and try to appeal to the middle, where the actual votes are.
A return to fiscal and classic conservatism is the only way forward for conservatives. Social and populist conservatism has failed up here, in the process creating a greater divide than we've seen in this country in modern times. That's the lesson the Conservatives need to learn, and it's one I truly and sincerely hope they learn. We operate best when all our parties are strong and working together. The gong show that the CPC has been since 2013 has only created chaos and hard feelings. That shit needs to go away.
But this isn't just on the CPC. Canadian conservatives need to do better as well. For a lot of people, voting conservative means taking on a stink that they don't want on them, myself included. You guys need to be more reasonable, less abbrassive and whiny about, like, everything, honestly. Take down the **** Trudeau flags, they're cringe and they make people hate you. Stop being so heartless when it comes to people that are not like you, that's not what our country is about. If you're going to talk emphatically, know what you're talking about, everyone has the internet, you can't hide dumb like you used to be able to. And stop talking so much shit about people you disagree with. Not only does it invite the same in return, it just makes it icky to identify as a conservative for people who still believe in what it has always meant to be Canadian.
The party has a lot of work to do, but so do it's supporters. Shit has gone off the rails in Canada since Harper went nuts in 2013, and while it will take all of us to "fix" it, the folks who started us down this path of assholery have to be the ones who steer us off of it. Things won't get better for you until you deserve it.
I know that you're probably not going to like this, and are less ready to hear it, but there are the thoughts you asked for...hehe
