As Conservatives wonder if they’ll ever win again, Liberals capture institutions. And that’s how they have a second majority government today, intact even after a change in leadership and a decade in power.
Provincial or federal, private or public, it doesn’t matter. The Liberal Party of Canada probably has at least one tendril in it, because that’s what it’s evolved to do. This has proven to be the most effective strategy around: when the whole landscape is friendly to you and hostile to your biggest opponent, you don’t actually have to do much at all. You can coast on vibes and mediocre performance, and you can even poach some of the other side’s policies and foot soldiers.
We are in deep trouble. Good read.
