@davidportier @nenshi Doorknocking for elections provides great insight into how little most people know about our electoral system. You so often hear people complaining about provincial issues/politicians in federal campaigns and vice versa.

There was a clip last week of @nenshi explaining in focus groups, most people didn’t know “NDP” means “New Democrats” Remember that when you argue a floor crossing will have any actual impact at all.

@JJ_McCullough Theresa May took that advice too. Carney had a front row seat to it in 2017. You are achieving the same thing here without taking ANY risk. It's rational.

The one thing I don’t understand, however, is why Carney wants to cobble together a razor-thin majority government through a bunch of Conservative floor-crossings instead of just calling a snap election he’d surely win.

@davidportier And the name Optimistic Tory was becoming a little bit out of date, eh? 😂

I have changed my username to @davidportier, rather than the @optimistictory I started out as. Should be easier to find me now. Blue tick will also return soon.

@mattgurney @cafreeland Turf the guy who just won 90% in his leadership review, and we return to the hellscape that was 1993-2003. And I have zero doubt that Carney would accept Adolf Hitler himself into caucus if he thought that would make that happen.

All this bitching and moaning by CPC MPs is really lame. They know what they have to do. It couldn't be clearer. There's an incredibly obvious solution to their problem here. All they need to do is get @cafreeland to tweet out a letter. Easy peasy. thestar.com/politics/up-to…

Maxime Bernier would have crossed to the Liberals if was an elected Conservative MP right now.
