      He’s more like Eric Adams. It happens to be that he’s a conservative suburbanite but his guiding principle is having power and making money, there’s no ideology mixed in

      He’s kind of old school corrupt conservative. He generally tends to stay away from anything socially conservative and just focuses on blatantly enriching himself. He’s been handling this whole situation really well though.

      Not exactly. He’s actually gotten along great with Trudeau this whole time, so it’s fair to say the populist firebrand thing is an act for the cameras. His brother was the mayor of Toronto and started the whole dynasty (as far as I know), then died. One theory might be that the crazy was not shared.

      The other conservative premiers have been taking a much more appeasment-y tack. The worst one is easily Danielle Smith. Poilievre (the federal conservative leader) also seems a bit lost about how to handle this.
