    I understand the strategic move to take advantage of conservative chaos. What I don’t understand is why Eby would believe there is an actual opportunity here to make any significant gains that will be worth it.

    Either knows something big, or is a huge fucking dipshit

      I’m pretty sure it’s the latter. All he does is ride coattails, so much he doesn’t even know whose coattails he’s riding on any given day. I don’t know what he thinks he’s done that would make people clamber to vote for him.

      This such a stupid move and the Conservatives rallied real quick once he called the election. He just opened the doors wide open for a con takeover.

        it is hard for me to not draw the same conclusion. feels like a setup to score a goal on your own net.
