They want to be served by others, not to serve others according to their needs.

This sort of stupidity by il douche may push some conservative voters to vote for the Bloc Quebec and soft moderate to vote Liberal as a buffer against the pro-Trump conservatives from winning anything
The Conservatives may have to accept that the only politician they have that can win anything nationally is Ford.
He's not great, but he is the only conservative who has been really vocal against trump
Danielle Smith (Premier - Alberta) is the poster child for why no one in Canada should vote Conservative

I'm old enough to remember when Quebec made keeping their language the deal-breaker in joining Canada. In my memory it looms as a pretty big fight that was all over the news, but that could be because I was a kid living in Florida, where there were a lot of Canadians to make it relevant!
