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.
