Stay classy CPCers!

Like in the USA, our rabid right has become a cult and as we all know, you can't leave the cult without suffering the consequences.

[DrCaleb]

Truth. And the cult will say 'we aren't a cult' while upholding a person's right to join whatever cult they want, so long as it is theirs.

(laying on floor, spinning in circles like Curly from 3 Stooges)
Woob! Woob! Woob! NO No No you're the cult. You are!

[raydan]

We are the anti-cult cult, caught in an endless loop of joining and leaving.

MP Alain Rayes says he will let Canadians be judge of Conservatives' apology for 'intimidation'

$1:

Bloc Quebecois leader Yves-Francois Blanchet said he knows Poilievre quite well – having texted him to congratulate him on his win – and was expecting better from him as leader.

“I was expecting Pierre Poilievre to be intense, but he crossed a line I was not expecting,” said Blanchet in French. “Alain is no newcomer. He was one of the most effective MPs in the Conservative party at a time when he was happy to be a part of it.”

Cults don't care about your feelings.

It's not just in Quebec this is happening.

Criticism vs. abuse: B.C. politicians say they're facing increased harassment

$1:

In the Vancouver suburb of Port Coquitlam, about 30 kilometres east of Vancouver, a man allegedly became so upset over a bylaw issue he threatened to cause death or bodily harm to Mayor Brad West.

West, who was not involved with the bylaw, claims the man also threatened his wife and two young children.

"My son is five years old, my other son is 15 months old. They have nothing to do with anything that might ever be going on in the city," said West.

There are other examples in the article.

I almost posted this in the deplorable thread because it is but falls in line to this thread. I get people being rather annoyed by life right now but to stoop to this low level of threatening and harassing elected people is absurd. Think you have all the answers?
