The only upside that I can see is that Canadians will have a year to see what a trump style government can do to a country… Also a trump style government is the same as a poilievre government.

    While the party make-up and views were pretty similar, Harper ruled the party with a pretty firm hand. Even though many of the religious-right wanted socially conservative policies, he generally didn’t let them question things like abortion. I’m not sure Poilievre has the same control over the party.

      It’s a good question. He was quick to seize power from O’Toole after the Ottawa occupation, which kinda makes me think he’d be quick to discipline anyone who goes off message, but it’s a different scenario.
