MODERATORS
 

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has been hitting the summer barbecue circuit with ramped-up rhetoric around debunked claims that the World Economic Forum is attempting to impose its agenda on sovereign governments.

It is, some experts suggest, another sign that some conspiracy theories are moving from the fringes of the internet to mainstream thinking, as people's distrust of government grows.

I was a member of the federal PC party back in the 1980s. Supported both of Mulroney's campaigns and even voted for Kim Campbell. Later I supported Peter McKay until he sold the party out.

The federal party always had a 'bozo factor' of radical, right-wing populists. After the merger, the moderates were basically driven off. The only ones left are the right-wing nutters and soulless opportunists. I'm not sure which best describes Ferret-face.

After the merger

Paper merger, maybe, but there was never a real merger. The moderates weren't driven off, they just had nowhere to go when their party died.
