If they don’t care who the leader is, as long as (s)he is Conservative, they’re even stupider than I thought. To quote our PM “Look inside yourself” ffs. (He didn’t say the ffs part, but was probably thinking it. 😂)
Pollster Nik Nanos on preferred prime minister: "But for the Conservatives, it's not about Pierre Poilievre. It's about people that want change, they don't like the Liberals, and they want to see things go in a different direction... I don't think those Conservative voters care who the leader is."

More heartbreaking news coming out of the US. All completely preventable.
3 infant #pertussis deaths this year in Kentucky. "Of the three infant deaths reported over the past 12 months, all three were not vaccinated, nor were their mothers."
We first tested maternal vaccination for whooping cough over 80 years ago. It's safe & effective & might have saved these babies.
