    The Liberal Party of Canada often feels like a shell game.https://twitter.com/thompsonian_m/status/1431289493445877764 …

    In which a @liberal_party candidate says she stands by her love of Margaret Thatcher, advocacy of privatization and work for a think tank that defended residential schools -- but says those things don't represent the Liberal Party #cndpoli #canlab https://twitter.com/pressprogress/status/1431288773615161351 …

        The NDP and its supporters often help the Conservatives.

        Funny how loving Thatcher runs across the board, really. Remember Mulcair?https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/tom-mulcair-defends-praise-for-margaret-thatcher-s-winds-of-liberty-and-liberalism-1.3196265 …

        Here’s the game theory on this election: NDP are spoilers for Cons except in certain ridings, esp in Western Canada. Will there be a few bad candidates? Yes. How about doing a story on an anti-vax NDP candidate? No? Then using a fringe candidate as a stand-in is disingenuous.

        article is strongly torqued as she supports action on climate change, FN reconciliation & has never agreed with those who don't. She's against 2 Tier Health Care. LPC can absorb an MP with different ideas for making Cdn transportion affordable. Doesn't change their platform
