&quot;The governing Liberals will obviously accept whichever warm body comes its way on its slow march to a majority. But accepting someone like Ms. Gladu into its caucus perpetuates the Liberals’ reputation as a party without foundational principles: as one where the desire to govern is, in fact, its primary ideological driver.&quot; https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-marilyn-gladu-what-does-liberal-party-actually-stand-for/ #CanPoli #CdnPoli #Carney #Gladu

@carkner The only political parties which are not solely driven by the desire to win are usually the parties telling us the hard truth that no one wants to hear. The NDP is telling us that we are being taken advantage of and things can be better for us as humans. The Green party is telling us that we are destroying the planet in the pursuit of an ever growing economy. No one likes a downer message, so we vote to remove our rights and destroy the planet because those parties promise nice sounding things they have zero plans to deliver while they work to grift us. Of course, there are more fringe parties I am omitting.

@carkner LPC is a business not an actual party. They have always flip-flopped to whatever position they believe will get them the most votes. They have never stood for something.
