Ontario Premier Doug Ford–a leading Progressive Conservative
If you think politics is already confusing, what do you say to Ontario’s innovation–“Progressive Conservatives” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rO82uuxiunk)?
Actually, this is not the first time Canada has had “Progressive Conservatives.” (Why does that sound like “This is not the first time my dog had a tapeworm”?) They last went extinct in 2003, but now they’re back–at least in Ontario.
What do “Progressive Conservatives” stand for? [Looks quickly around the room, but no one else is there.] I don’t know. Is it sort of like “warm snow”? Jumbo shrimp? Colossal olives? Search me.
It’s surprising this political movement hasn’t yet caught on in our own United States. It sounds like a perfect hideout for “Moderate Democrats” who have been found out. Rest up, recover from the polls, and come out sounding Reasonable for as long as you can. Who knows? You might make a comeback.
Oxymorons are the official speech of the Democrats (and many RINOs). In today’s politics lies are celebrated and truth is disparaged (but that is always true in a fallen world – help us Lord Jesus),
Just more double talk.
The problem with “progressive” conservatives in Canada, is that they are more “regressive” and not really all that conservative. But in most places, they are the only alternative to the far left wackadoodles.
It’s starting to sound like an XXXL Massachusetts.
