At least that means a less conservative (ie LPO) Ontario premier...

But with the US electing swinging to what we laughably refer to as the left, I wonder if it could cause the CPC trouble in the upcoming election. Could hope for a coalition government...

Tories will be even pissier than usual if there was a legit coalition government, hell it's even in the wording of what Pierre sent Jagmeet, that the s&c is propping up something that wasn't elected and the like, literally the same shit they did back in the Harper years.

Shocking, a Harper minister sounding like Harper.

He'll govern like Harper too, like Harper if he grew up on 4chan.

No. We lag behind the US's shifts here, which is why it's important to PP to get the election rolling before the year is out. While he'd still probably win an election next year, in all likelihood it would be a much smaller victory should the Yankees actually send any kind of message rebuking the naked fascists running this year.

Eh, I'm not sure Crombie is much less conservative than Ford. I feel if she becomes Premier, we're going to have to wait another cycle of shifting right-then-left until we have a chance at an actual progressive government.
