That’s intentional. And it’s precisely so Harper couldn’t fuck it up when he wasn’t signing away our rights to our own land. His people can only fuck over a province at a time while we can potentially show off better outcomes from places he hasn’t wrecked yet.

The issue is people (particularly men) are falling for it, and once PP is our PM you can bet we're going to get more of it. People aren't seeing the worsening of it and changing their minds -- Alberta voted the UCP in again after Smith had already been in charge. The BC NDP nearly lost to John Rustad. I'd love it if these bad examples worked, but they don't seem to be.
