      I’d love to see Albertans reject him as an “Ottawa elite parachute candidate”.

      They won’t, of course, but a guy can dream…

        Maybe shame the libertarians in that riding into presenting an independent candidate that would defeat Peter Rabbithair easily.

      Perfectly on brand, tbh.

      They love freedom, but not for trans or gays.

      They love their country, but they hate paying the taxes to support it.

      They love democracy, but they hate when anybody else wins.

      They hate tyranny, but they love to back traitors.

      Because they’re not consistent. It’s not about anyone being an Ottawa politician, it’s just their tribalist victim complex.
