    The one thing I was hoping from a Poilievre PM is that I assumed he would at the very least match the 2% NATO requirement, that was the only thing going for him

      A lot of conservative supporters–especially the hard-core ones–have been influenced by Russian social media operations in the wake of Ukraine. The result is that internal party polling looks poor on things like “support for NATO”.

      The conservatives today aren’t the conservatives of the 1950s and 60s. They’re more like those of the 1920s and 30s: useful idiots at best, complicit at worst.
