If the Liberals stand for nothing, why do people have so many disagreements with their policies?

Honestly I'm not sure if your comments are skilfully crafted logical fallacies or mindless gibbering from a triggered conservative.

He did that here, at a grocery store in a village of 200 people. There was no media announcement that it would happen until the day of the event. It's like he is hiding from dissent.

The crazy thing is, the local candidate who hosted him (a public employee from Waterloo, since no one local was willing to run for the PCs this time) has come rather close to agreeing with me, a socialist .

That's the path to victory. This is the Province of Toronto's Suburbs now, and you have to win Toronto's Suburbs to win Ontario. The PCs need to abandon social conservatism and hyperbole and lead with logic and respect.

Can they do it?? Less than a year to go and no one fucking knows!!
