Unbelievably damning results. I don't see how the CPC can continue to function as a party.

Is there a grade lower than an F for active attempts at reversing education? |

Lots of "american lite" folks in Canada. I can see it, as we share the same culture and capitalism. Not surprising that there are more on the side of the "republican lite" party. Don't spread your legs for the cash. You are Canadians. You can do better than that! /s |

Sex work is at least honest commerce. Don't denigrate it by comparing it to the US's political circus. |

Nobody’s getting the cash except the billionaires. Too many people who think they’re temporarily impoverished billionaires in this world. |

Some Conservatives are actively seditious, working with the USA to destroy Canada from within. And many others support this and would love to have something like ICE attacking people they don't like here. |

That's my assesment too. There's a giant internal divide that's been sharpening ever since Harper unified the two parties. His majority gov't papered over it but the lack of any victory for over a decade has undone that. I think there's either going to be a split, or their vote share would decrease over time by means of the non-F voters leaving or not voting at all. |

So he wants to "deport" all non-white people and all the white people he doesn't like. It's not a political philosophy, it's a childish tantrum. |

Only as long as he doesn't get the power to execute on it. 😅 |

The 35% of CPC grading an A or B is unhinged (or just conservatives). |

Exactly. CPC leadership seems unwilling to understand that there's a difference between a big tent and a Nazi bar. Since the Reform merger the party used to be the former, but now it's the latter. It's no wonder we're seeing so many floor crossings, and it's bound to get worse and probably accelerate. This will also badly hurt their candidate recruitment efforts - who would want to put their name on the ballot for this party other than people who buy into this ideology? |

Left leaning people want taxes, to fund social programs, to go to the poor. Would they be okay with tariffs if it was a left leaning government, looking to do more than tax cuts for the rich, or are tariffs always bad? |

The broadness and extreme level of tariffs are the bigger issue than tariffs exisiting. Canada has various tariffs in place to help protect certain industries. I also think people's dissatisfaction runs deeper than the tariffs when it comes to Trump. |

Tariffs are a tax on residents of the tariffing country, essentially the same as a flat income tax increase on the whole population (i.e. a regressive tax curve, which is deeply un-leftist) |

How's that different than all taxes, aren't all taxed passed onto the end user? |

Of course, but income tax is progressive (rates get higher with income) whereas tariffs result in a flat increase which disproportionately affects the poor because it represents a higher percentage of their income. Let's take cars, for example. If steel tariffs mean that a car costs $500 more than it did before tariffs, that $500 has a far bigger impact on someone who makes $40k a year versus someone who makes $200k. That $500 is borne in full by residents of the country that imposed tariffs, which is why tariffs really only penalize your own people in addition to whatever industry of your trade partners you're targeting. |

Conservatives are fascists. Period. Always have. Always will be. And they should be treated as such. |

Progressive conservatives are not, and that's the source of the tension within the CPC. PCs are basically "marry who you want, just don't raise my taxes" |
