    Jeet Heer Retweeted Luke Savage

    This is a judicious take -- what I'd add is that with the far right PPC getting 5% of the vote there will be lots of efforts by Conservative Party to start catering to those voters. Were already seeing that in Globe, National Post, and internal CPC wrangling.https://twitter.com/LukewSavage/status/1441114397506617356 …

    Canada's far right failed to secure an electoral beachhead this week, but it tripled its vote and could still exert a noxious influence on the political mainstream. My latest for @jacobin https://www.jacobinmag.com/2021/09/canada-far-right-ppc-maxime-bernier-election …

        In the just finished election, Conservative leader O'Toole made a lot of rhetorical gestures to appeal to moderate (suggesting support of carbon tax & unions). Now Canadian conservatives are likely to move sharply right.

        You’re going to see a hardening of both ends of the spectrum imho. Though only one side poses an actual threat.

        We also know this because of Conservative caucus rumblings, blaming O'Toole's move to the centre for their 2021 failure. We should be prepared for the CPC to respond to 2021 by moving deeper towards their base, and the far-right. See below:https://twitter.com/MercedesGlobal/status/1441199327590764549 …

        So I got a very similar call to @JPTasker tonight from a Conservative caucus member who is furious with Conservative leader @erinotoole. Caucus member criticized him for running as “Liberal lite” while framing it as “true blue” #cdnpoli

        Some of the comments in the PPC support Facebook groups are just.. either hilarious or depressing. People stating that their election was stolen by Dominion voting machines, "just like in the US."
