Anyway, what's immediately interesting to me is Markham-Unionville is where incumbent Liberal candidate Paul Chiang dropped out from the race in April over translated comments that appeared to suggest turning an opposition candidate to Hong Kong authorities for a bounty.
Liberals of today are quite literally the Progressive Conservatives of yesteryear, before Preston Manning and the Reform party took "Progressive" out of their ethos by merging the Reform Party / Canadian Alliance Party into it and thus hijacking their mandate.
So really there's no irony about it. The harder right Liberals crossed over to the new Conservative party to play in Stephen Harper's sandbox. The old-guard "Progressive Conservatives" who were not comfortable moving more right moved over to the liberal party which ended up moving a little bit to the right as a result.
From the horses ass if anyone is wondering what Pierre had to say about this. Once again it's got nothing to do with him even though it's the 3rd MP he's lost. And if anyone was wondering a peeked into some Canadian Conservative subs, the popular sentiment amongst them is Pierre is decent and this all happened because they're victims of bad people doing bad things as usual.
When are progressive liberals going to cross the floor to join the NDP? I’m not a liberal supporter but can’t imagine this is what the liberal caucus imagined when Carney was elected leader.

No one mention the use of 5G and wifi in front of Elizabeth May and we should be ok.

Mark Carney is a better conservative leader that’s for sure.

Liberals unironically make better conservatives than conservatives.
