I was much relieved to visit some Conservative friends of ours on the weekend, to find that:
- Although they are not pleased with Trudeau's personality
- The handling of the pandemic by our governments was satisfactory in their opinion
- The Convoy was the stupidest thing ever
- They are becoming disgusting with the yahoos of their party.
These are also not centrists, but rural, gun-owning, freedom loving etc. etc.
I firmly believe we just need reasonable people to get a bit louder as every single loud wingnut that I have to moderate (Facebook) is ignorant and stupid. For that matter, they would probably vote for Trudeau too if he just fit the jingoist cut-out.
It will indeed be amusing to see well-suited Peter Pepperlips try to play the part of cowboy with his economics degree and soft hands...
