And it’s poorly signed, inadequately lit, and frequently the site of multi vehicle collisions. And I think we’ve stretched this metaphor to the breaking point. 🤔

It was a good article! There’s not nearly enough political press that pays attention to the intersection between MLM schemes, “natural health products”, car dealerships, and conservative politics.

Yeah, I wrote something about this a while back. The Conservatives were attacking the Liberals over regulating "natural health products." My Conservative MP sent a survey asking, “Do you support the Liberal plan to ban natural health products?” www.halifaxexaminer.ca/morning-file...

Seems more like the population of Liberal voters who are aggressively negatively polarized against the NDP, which... Yeah about 7% of Canadians seems about right for that. No thumb on the scales here, no way.

Quite the selective framing here - "and would *only consider* voting Liberal" is not what most folks would think of as the definition of "base". I'd hazard a guess that a lot of Liberal voters are policy-driven - they want specific outcomes, and will vote for whatever party is able to deliver that.
