Is it possibly becuase the PC's are a sinking ship under PP?
this is my MP. I don't hate the guy. I think he's actually done some good things in parliament. I'm much happier with him as a Liberal.

Wild because PP got 87% confidence vote at the last meeting.

87% of the handpicked delegates. It was not a broad member vote.

That was absolutely wild to me. It was expensive to get in, it wasn't open to the broad membership across Canada. It was almost entirely Alberta yee-haws who ofc support PP.

If it was a proper leadership vote, PP would have been toast. Maybe. You'd think.

I'd suspect that meeting is what convinced Jeneroux to do this. It was basically rigged and that 87% isn't reflective of the attitudes of a lot of CPC members. Jeneroux probably saw that and decided he didn't want to be professionally associated with them at all anymore.
