Canada REALLY needs this

That's the last thing we need. Merging the PPC with the CPC would neutralize the only political force we have that even resembles anything based. The PPC may never win a seat, but their mere existence forces the CPC to the right. 2 years ago, Poilievre would never have gotten away with saying the kinds of things he's saying right now and still remained the leadrship frontrunner.
We need a NatSoc party to counter the literal communist parties running openly.
You can't fight socialism with socialism.
If we "need" NatSocs, it would only be to remind people of what NatSocs actually are. Expanding the Overton Window and such as.
That is also the way UKIP and the Brexit Party booked success.
That may also be why such a thing seems impossible in countries with proportional representation.
The merger would require purging the neocons and other globalist shills from the party and deciding if either PP or Max should be PM/deputy PM, also PP seems to have a good track record.
PP is a shill. I met the guy, he is a career politician and a scum bag.
CPC is a party that sets its policy on polling.
As a PPC supporter, the party has to expand and become more than a one man vanity project.
Right now the "party" is a leader, a colour palate and 337 last-minute rando candidates.
They need more name recognition candidates and some bench strength beyond Max.
Viva Frei was a good get last election, but he didn't have the stomach for politics and isn't coming back.
They should be courting Roman Baber types who are principled but jettisoned from other parties. Jettisoned provincial politicians like Rick Nicholls and Belinda Karahalios who got the boot for standing up to Doug Ford. Maverick types like Derek Sloan and Randy Hillier. Convoy spokesman like Tom Marazzo.
The PPC should also copy the Elizabeth May/Green Party strategy of concentrating all their resources on a few favourable ridings to actually get into the House.
As crazy and inept as the Greens are, they actually made history by winning seemingly impossible races near Victoria, Kitchener and Fredricton. The Ontario Greens have somehow managed the same to get Mike Schreiner, their leader, elected in Guelph with next to no support in the rest of the province.
Heat maps for the PPC from 2021 suggest that their best bet may be to try to get one of their own elected in Mennonite country in Southern Manitoba where support approached 20%.
Unfortunately, this is true of nearly every party that challenges the establishment.
No thanks. Fuck Pierre. Fuck the CPCs.
Nah, until the CPC is on their knees begging for an alliance like last time what does Max even have to gain? Blue trudeau up there is a little 'c' con in all interpretations of the phrase, he's a little more slick than the last two morons they tried I'll give them that.
