    Remember the leadership “vote” he recently passed was based on the votes of people who paid ~$1500 to be there

    Also worth noting it was held in Calgary and all voters had to physically be there. So voters were Calgarians with enough money to get in, and people from the rest of Canada with enough money to get in and enough money/time to travel there.

      For sure, I’ve heard that argument, but I wonder - if I had wealth that I wanted to protect, and I thought a strong Conservative party was a means to that end, I’d want Poilievre gone yesterday. Still remains a mystery to me what CPC supporters see in him, in light of all the evidence in front of them.

        Sad truth is a part of Canada wants to be the USA.
