"One thing Sloan did confirm about his party is that he would be open to working with the People’s Party of Canada which he said includes not running against its leader Maxime Bernier in his old riding of Beauce."

If he wanted a seat on the "gravy train" he would have kept his mouth shut, never challenged the anointed one, and sat quietly at the table as the impotent token social conservative.
He's far less likely to make a higher salary forming his own party. He doesn't have the following Max does.

But then he's only be making an MP salary. And worse, he'd have to show up to work every day.
Instead by quitting the party, starting his own party and losing his seat as a result, he gets to collect his maxed out MP's pension PLUS the $104k "party leader's" salary he's paying himself out of the donation money. That's WAY better than making less money and having to work.
Anyone willing to abandon the CPC for not being far-right enough did so in 2018 when Max broke off of the CPC. Sloan and Max will now be competing for that same market.
Well, that's nice of him. 😆
The only rational explanation I can think of for why he's doing this is for money. He knows he's going to lose his seat next election now that he's no longer in the CPC, so he needs some kind of job/income for afterwards. He sees Max pulling in over $100k/yr in "party leader" salary from campaign donations, so Sloan probably wants to start a gravy train of his own.
This should be a wakeup call for PPC supporters. It's exposing these grifts for what they are.

Welcome to First Past the Post!
There is only two options. The rest are outliers.
Any other voting system in Canada would mean that the Conservatives would never rule again.
LOL this from the guy who can't understand why it's a bad idea to wave tiki torches at his political rallies.

"Far right enough" aka policies that were core CPC principals ... 6 years ago.
Not much actually, no.
