PP's only goal is power, the CPC has no landmark policy, their campaign platform was just slogans and vague assertions, the leader lost his seat and had to run for the safest seat in the country. Under normal circumstances this would cause a push from within the party platform to more align with what Canadians want, but that doesn't happen in today's CPC.

This skit perfectly encapsulates the mentality of the CPC base. This partisan loyalty is doing so much damage to our political discourse, where a good portion of the country is voting purely on tribal identity, where the party is not held to the same standard of decorum or corruption.

It's no wonder the LPC is shifting to the right, they know anyone paying attention to policy could not vote for the CPC right now, so they've been trying to peel CPC supporters away from the party by adopting some of the same aspects of that political identity, and passing policy that would've been right at home under the Harper government.

In this situation there is one thing that being left behind, and thats policy for average Canadians. As long as we're voting to keep a cult from taking power and abusing the notwithstanding clause to punish those in society they deem undesirable, we are not voting for good policy that's going to actually make a positive impact on the average Canadian, and thats depressing as hell.
