What CPC Members Must Do If The Leader Wins The Leadership Review.

Our leader has a very poor self-image and, down to his bones, lacks confidence that he's actually up to the big job. It shows. He even publicly predicted that we might lose the election before the vote was counted, and he was dead on. People can't stand him and are turned off when he's on television. That's why his personal approval as potential prime minister has fallen so far that it now occupies a sacred position south of hell. Canadians and committed voters want nothing to do with him. Everyone knows it, even Conservative members and supporters, but they're so obedient, preparing once again to bend over to receive the leader's broomstick next January in Calgary. Put succinctly, at the convention we will put the finishing touches on our future loss to Carney: we will ratify our leader's continued leadership and then go down in flames in the spring when the PM pulls the electoral plug in search of a majority. 

For those of us who have seen through the leader's false confidence veneer, there will be but two choices: either go inactive and silent or leave the party and form our own. I'm leaning toward option two. I want to win -- nothing else matters, and I already know that I can't and WON'T with this leader. The 2025 election was the party's and the leader's high-water mark. It's all downhill from here, and party members can sense it's coming. 

Given that caucus will be the first to bend over to receive the leader's benediction, we can't count on them to remove him. They'll likely keep him in place with a "new" orientation and a phoney "look how much I've changed" mantra. Baloney. He's who he is, and no one will buy that. Besides, Byrne's half-in-half-out approach proves nothing has changed under his leadership.

To wrestle power from the Liberals in a three-election scenario will require a split on the right, with the CPC going one way and a Progressive party going another. Hopefully, forty-five percent of the membership will join us. That will leave the CPC as a self-indulgent, myopic, overly right-wing rump that goes to bed every night as content as can be, despite serial election losses. The CPC western apparatus cares not for election wins. All it's about is controlling the party and imposing unrealistic right-wing American-focused ideology. Those people are almost all of the Trump worshippers in this party. Post breakup, you can continue to have your serial orgasms based on garbage politics that will never get you elected as a national government again. As for the rest of us, we'll do what it takes to win. Our job will be to get the Liberals out, and we'll do it. It won't be a question of if, but only a matter of when. Just watch us, as that man used to say.
