    It must be even harder pretending the CPC was ever about fiscal anything. The Overton window moves and dictates how much quiet part gets said out loud, but human nature does not change.

    We’re all going to have to grapple with the fact that in very unfortunate ways we are America-lite. A red wave might push social conservatism back in the closet, but we must not forget that a full 30% of us still went mask off after watching where those values lead – twice. That’s a problem that’s going to require active collective leadership across Canada for the foreseeable future.
