Kinda part of their messaging problem. Reminds me of Tim Hudak in Ontario. He got a bit too gleeful about cutting public servants and it contributed to tanking his campaign. The glee with which some conservatives are talking about slashing whole services (CBC, Canada Post, etc) at the same time as the US provides a live demonstration of letting these fantasies run wild, is going to give more than a few period pause. Like, at least pretend it's regretful that you have to kick some public servants to the curb.
Also, again, I'll say, it's not just the politicians. Every PP fan posting and tweeting about how he can't wait for xyz agency to be shuttered or so many public servants to be fired, is a reminder of how much that whole movement lacks compassion. And at a time where a whole lot of Canadians might be facing unemployment thanks to Trump, they want to see some inkling of compassion.
