You would think the Trudeau Liberals would remember the lesson that was taught to Kim Campbell's PCs in 1993 when the electorate all but cleared her party out of the HoC....but alas the old adage hold true - those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it! Mr. Drama Socks is going to find out all about FAFO and he's going to take the federal Liberals down with him. 🤷
