    This is a “Not all conservatives are Nazis, but all Nazis are conservative” distinction.

    Poillevre might not actually goosestep and wear a snappy-looking black Hugo Boss uniform and make undesirable people into soap while stealing their gold teeth, but people who do those things vote for Poillevre and give him money.

    Conversely, people who vote for Singh…don’t.

    I’m not voting for the conservatives until I hear full-throated rejection of bigoted policies, and right now, all I hear is bitching about “woke this” and “DEI that”.

      I’m not voting for the Tories until their platform fits my beliefs, and until I’m a <0.05%er that’s not fucking happening… actually? Scratch that, I’d never end up being that rich because that doesn’t fit my beliefs…and also I wasn’t born into money, have no “luck” with the lottery and didn’t marry into money or monarchy.

          Fair enough. The Tories do not, have not, and I very much doubt ever will champion nearly anything I would be willing to see in my homeland…but that’s me. Different strokes and all that.
