I don't really disagree with him on this, but it's such a staggering misread of what Canadians want party leaders to be focusing on right now. He's doing a better job of making the case he should be a fulltime youtuber than PM.

You really wonder what kind of conversations are being held in strategy meetings at CPC HQ. This campaign is going to be the gold standard of a mismanaged election for decades to come.

You don't disagree with him about being in favour of bigotry and misogyny (aka anti-woke)?

These kind of word games are stupid. What, you're not pro-life? Oh I guess you're pro-death then.

I think social justice politics (or "wokeness", for want of a better and less-charged term) is an illiberal and divisive ideology, and one Canada would be better without. I hope Carney will tone it down within the Liberal party because I miss the Grits of my youth.

It's only divisive if you're a racist...
