Swinging to the extreme right is not a winning strategy in Canada.
You only have to look as far as is going on in the US house of representatives to know the chaos a few extremists can cause. They will never be satisfied until the province is a christofascist dictatorship.
You can also look to Manitoba for a more positive outcome. The PC started going a little too far right, and they got voted out. Maybe DUI-Hank Hill finds the same fate.
Or Harper's Barbaric Cultural Practice snitch line.
I'm still pissed about the hotline.
Thing is they could have marketed it as a domestic abuse hotline and actually gained votes, but I guess they couldn't grok the concept without racism.
Oh no, they knew.
Harper was either getting cocky at that point and giving into his base instincts, or he was pressured by the the increasingly radical direction of the party and was trying not to get knifed by some up-and-coming fascist bootlicker like Scheer or Poillevre.
I'm betting it's a bit of both, frankly.
