And the words that keep coming back was flat, mood, all, except anything but buoyant, less attendance than usual, less of everything than in previous years.

And that

buoyancy was always present, even when the Conservatives were in opposition in the past.

But there was no feeling to that.

And I talked about this argument that the Liberals want Pierre Poilievre to change, that he put to this room.

And I thought, no, it's the people in this room who would have liked you to change.

It's not the liberals.

And what you're telling them is basically, not only am I not going anywhere, but I'm not going to change.

And that is left, and it's not just at that conference or in that room, that is leaving many conservatives to say, what can we do about this?

And the notion, I picked up something else from the speech that I talked with

Where is he going on this?

That he is fighting to keep the elites who are taking over Ottawa from doing whatever nefarious thing that they are doing.

Elites that are also controlling basically all of the media outlets.

So it's all elites who are speaking.

I'm thinking, do you really think that this is going to be credible?

I noted this week that there was radio silence in Ottawa.

in large part from the Conservative Party and its leader under the new Governor General.

presumably part of that elite that Mr. Polyev was hinting at.

But why is he not saying this is a terrible appointment?

I really am sorry that this is happening, because if he did that, he would be in significant trouble, not just in Quebec, but in many areas of the country where people tend to think it is a good appointment.
