Disagree. Same cleavage, different issue. Far right populists vs mainstream conservatives. The latter are abandoning the sinking ship because the party is ungovernable. drjaredwesley.substack.com/p/congratula...

After the referendum, watch for both factions of Danielle Smith’s coalition to show up en masse to try to assert control of her UCP. But it hits different when the sides aren’t PC and Wildrose — it’s separatist and federalist. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"Most questions with answers this clear aren't asked in the first place " Yes exactly yes. Smith has no core beliefs, no values. I'd call her a snake but that would be an insult to snakes.

The idea that Canada is broken and can or cannot be fixed really seems to revolve around grievances that are mostly either built on BS or are simply partisan temper tantrums. Why should anyone entertain that? Shouldn't the federalism response be to point this out?
