Based on experience south of border or in AB - all the dissent goes out the window and everybody falls in line come election time. I'd like to believe that any of the major Canadian parties has members genuinely caring for their constituencies but given our electoral system and governing system that is out the window as hyper-partisanship is a natural step in current system's evolution. Parties prevent democracy by forcing their members to follow party line and not their electorate needs.

LMFAO, get fucked CPC, you and the Liberals haven't represented anyone other than corporations in years.
You picked your pile of dogshit, CPC MPs, go roll around it in.
I don't know if I'm naive and this happens all the time, but it feels like an import of our neighbours base partisanship against ANYTHING the liberals propose based on it coming from them and not from the cons.
Disappointed, but unfortunately not surprised.
Not really an import, this ha been the direction right-wing politics has been shifting since Harper. (And he's still pulling Poilievre's puppet strings.)
Just perfectly on-brand.
