I don’t know if Bernier will have much of an impact in the long term, but he sure has riled up his former fellow Conservatives greatly.

Rather than their relentless petty and sometimes childish attacks on the Prime Minister about things like socks, selfies and swing sets, they seem to have all their guns aimed on Bernier now, attaching his character and motives 24/7. They claim he is not a threat, but their attacks seem to suggest they worry otherwise.

I don’t know if Bernier will really cause much vote spitting, but I suppose at least the Federal Liberals can enjoy a temporary break from CPC rage and anger machine while it pummels Bernier relentlessly for a while.
