"The Tories are mostly causing their own problems" is becoming a whole genre of article on CBC

"Unable to make any headway in the polls against the Liberals, Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole could use a little help from his friends Alberta Premier Jason Kenney and Ontario Premier Doug Ford.

Basically, he needs Ford and Kenney to avoid doing anything that makes matters worse for him."

I mean... they're not WRONG

It is not good for one's electoral chances to be the federal version of the main contestants on Canada's Worst Premier

lmao this works for our conservatives too, they'd do better in the polls if they stopped backstabbing one another

The Conservatives Premiers are really not doing the federal conservatives any favours

Subheadline for a section: "Ford not helping in Ontario (again)"

There's a reason he spent the last election pretending not to exist

Lofwyr : They're not even specfically BACKSTABBING, they're just fucking up the pandemic handling in their provinces so badly that even people who don't NORMALLY hate the Tories are starting to hate the Tories

I didn't even know what party the premier in Manitoba was from before the covid stuff started up and it's like, oh yeah, that makes sense now

... It's sort of amazing to me the difference between Ford, Kenney and Higgs here in NB

because Higgs is Conservative and I haven't voted for him and don' like his policies but he's over all did a great job with the pandemic.

like i can't fault him

I wonder if the difference is that Higgs was so close to NOT being premier

While the colossal fuckups are governing with COMFORTABLE majorities because first past the post is a delightful system

oh well conservatives being incompetent is also not that new

Conservatives? Bungling a crisis where they have to help people? No way.

The impostor did okay for the first ocuplemonths but then the aliens RUDELY returned the real Ford

https://www.thebeaverton.com/... the good days

If they'd left the impostor I could have run down to the comic shop this weekend and BOUGHT that ridiculous Firefly comic!

I feel pretty confident in saying that Higgs got his Premiership by such a narrow margin that he's obligated to actually govern with that in mind.

He's still kind of, like, bad in some ways. But not a giant exploding all-singing all-dancing fuckup, the least of which he was given New Brunswick: No One Goes Here to navigate through COVID-19.

Yes it does help to be in a boring province when getting good start conditions

Lampy : GIVE US RENT CONTROL YOU FUCK D<

//to higgs, not to you
