It's not heartening to hear a Conservative endorse Carney as a fellow conservative but we had to choose the least bad option, and the most competent
JOHNS: “I don't think it was a far stretch for Chris d'Entremont to cross over and join the Liberal Party of today, ’cause Carney's running on...a Progressive Conservative agenda. And the Conservative Party has certainly pivoted back to more the Reform Party of the past and a MAGA-type party.”
