Former Prime Minister Kim Campbell, the last leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada, criticized Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, calling him a 'liar and a hate-monger.' Campbell, expressing her concerns over climate change as an 'existential issue,' indicated she would not support the Conservative Party in the upcoming federal election. Her comments have sparked discussions on the ideological divide between the traditional Progressive Conservatives, often referred to as 'Red Tories,' and the modern Conservative Party. The reaction to Campbell's statements highlights the ongoing debate over the direction of conservative politics in Canada.

Program note: Kim Campbell was the last Progressive Conservative PM of Canada. Holdovers from what little remains of the PCs today not only resent modern Conservatives but have almost nothing in common with them. They're Red Tories, much closer politically to the Liberals.
Kim Campbell is literally trolling the Conservative party.
