    Nothing. This is the SAME SHIT THAT HAPPENED IN 1993, except it was a conservative PM then (Mulroney). The last generation of them that cared to be a leader for all sides. Harper was outright an enemy to decency.

    Nowadays, the notion of self-sacrifice for utilitarian ethics is a rarified trait; and utterly non-existent on the right of the aisle. Run the thought experiment for yourself and simulate a republican or a conservative candidate doing the right thing. It’s good for a laugh.

      Mulroney was simply unpopular, especially about the GST. People fucking HATE Trudeau, a deep visceral feeling he’s engendered across the country, and it’s not recent. (It’s hard to take anyone seriously that calls Harper a threat to decency)
