    You can also look to Manitoba for a more positive outcome. The PC started going a little too far right, and they got voted out. Maybe DUI-Hank Hill finds the same fate.

          Thing is they could have marketed it as a domestic abuse hotline and actually gained votes, but I guess they couldn’t grok the concept without racism.

            Oh no, they knew.

            Harper was either getting cocky at that point and giving into his base instincts, or he was pressured by the the increasingly radical direction of the party and was trying not to get knifed by some up-and-coming fascist bootlicker like Scheer or Poillevre.

            I’m betting it’s a bit of both, frankly.

      Which election are you talking about? As of the last election, there is no riding in Manitoba where the Conservative Party of Canada lost a seat that they held in the previous election.
