A lot of my conservative friends have similar talking points "i don't like ford but..." it usually boils down to racism and feeling superior.

What i don't get is several of these supporters rely heavily on healthcare, mental healthcare, OSAP, & disability pay, all things most conservative MPs fight to defund.

A lot of them literally would rather suffer under ford so long as they can fool themselves they are in the "in group" and not the "out group". Its brown people taking advantage of the services that are the mooches, not me! Its the immigrants fault i don't have a job etc etc
