        He’s been shit, but I do appreciate there being an anti-Trump version of the right in existence.

          He made sure to call an election before he actually had to act on any of his rhetoric. I’m sure he’ll start singing another tune if he gets another term and we can’t get rid of him for years.

            Oh god, I hope you all are wrong. Danielle Smith is enough of a booger in the punchbowl already.

          Assuming it’s not just an act because he doesn’t think he could win another election if he openly supported Trump.

            I mean, it’s a given that a politician is politicking. But, his record of getting along with the federal government makes me think that he probably means it, even if he’s shit on plenty of other issues.

            Stand up to trump.

            Call snap election with people cheering him on.

            Get reelected based on hopes vs reality.

            Suck trumps balls with rigorous intensity.

    Unfortunately due to the FPTP system polling numbers don’t mean too much at an aggregate level, would be more interesting to see single district polling.

    I wish canada would atleast reform to RCV or Two Round if proportional voting is too scary for conservatives.

      Conservatives are open to proportional representation when they realize the cost savings in avoiding policy lurch.
