This is the best explanation I've seen. Agree 100%. To many leftists, Trudeau advances their cause, especially with him pandering to the far left more now than ever before. They know he sucks, but he pushes the overton window to the left. Many leftists love Jagmeet, if Jagmeet were to be LPC leader, he'd win a much larger majority than Trudeau. They'd rather have Jagmeet but 'settle' for Trudeau. The best way to CPC to break this "conservatives are for white men" conditioning the public is subject to is to have Leslyn Lewis as leader, sadly that failed. Simply running a milquetoast CPC leader isn't going to overcome Trudeau. Scheer was a dud, but we heard for 2 yrs that 'boring' will beat Trudeau's corruption and blunders. They were wrong because they don't know politics all about perception, not truth.
I think a big part of it is that Canadians are notoriously insecure and obsessed with claiming to be morally superior to the US, as long as you can frame whatever our government does as better than whatever the US does (whether it's true or not)..the average Canadian buys it.
3rd world voters dont care about anything except getting more of their invaders in and free gibs. They can barely read or understand politics to begin with, so voting for the ones that keep the pipeline open for them and their shithole brethren is all they care about. Sadly, they have enough invaders to sway elections in all 1st world countries now due to how the gerrymandering and bullshit election systems work.
Conservatives have been declared evil because something something bad Christians something something protect teh gays and abortion good for so long that naturally everyone wants to think they are good by voting Liberals.
Unfortunately declaring something evil does not make you good for opposing it, just stupid and complacent.
Same reason people support the Toronto Maple Leafs despite all evidence pointing to the fact that they're useless.
Sadly for many, many voters, that's really all there is to it. Team loyalty.
For others, it's a question of fear. The Liberal loyalists (with the assistance of their loyal media) have engineered the political climate where if you don't support their team, you can be tarred as a racist/sexist/homophobe/whateverophobe. Many people jump on board just to avoid being on the wrong side of the outrage mob.
Guess it makes sense why the left loves Islam so much, it follows a similar system of shaming/ threatening those who decide to change their mind. People have been so trained to rely on emotions that intellect and thus reason and logic take a backseat. This feeds into the left making things sound reasonable on paper as long as you don’t think about it too much (or at all). It also feeds into a sort of tribalism. This means their person is now linked to their “tribe” and their ideas which is why they can’t debate very well, they take every refute of their ideas as a personal attack and have difficulty differentiating the two. In the end basically cult programming.

If they were smart they would rename the Con party into something more innocuous.
Bought and paid for media.

Media brainwashing. "The CBC told me so, therefore it must be true".
Conservatives have been declared evil because something something bad Christians something something protect teh gays and abortion good for so long that naturally everyone wants to think they are good by voting Liberals.

Don't know anyone who does, personally.
they depend on him for CERB?
