I really would like a patty that doesn't pretend to be meat. Something like old-school veggie patties from the pre-Yves, pre-Beyond era. More of a veggie fritter, I suppose.
I know people want the meat-burger experience, and that's fine. I'd like an option that doesn't resemble meat.
A guilty pleasure of mine is the Ikea veggie dog with cabbage and fried onions and mustard. Kinda like that.
It would have to be an outsider candidate, and the LPC party structure does not do well with outsiders.
If you've ever experienced dealing with the LPC, you can see why: they're primary composed of compulsive board-of-directors members. Every Liberal representative and most of the party and riding executives are all from the same incestuous BoD members. They encounter each other all the time in their professional circles: they're on the committee for this, the board for that, the council for something else, the executive director for fill in the blank. They know each other because they're each other's lawyers, estate agents, consultants and so forth.
They're so socially inbred that it's incredibly difficult for an outsider to break in.
And before you say "All politicians are like this", they aren't:
Compared to the above, the Liberals place a much, much higher value on consensus and favour-trading, and have a visceral reaction against outsiders.
By Liberal standards, Trudeau is an outsider candidate. What the LPC wanted was a Dionne or Ignatieff.
