Podcast appearances and mentions of Ford Nation

As Torontonians, we couldn't pass up the chance to watch Netflix's new documentary about our ex-mayor, the late Rob Ford. But while TRAINWRECK: MAYOR OF MAYHEM (2025) collects most of the classic Ford moments into one slick package, it leaves the real meaning of Ford on the margins.

A new book published this month provides an in-depth look into the devastating policies of the Ford government across a wide range of public policy issues: from health care to labour and Indigenous lands. Against the People was co-authored by Brian Evans and Carlo Fanelli. Ryan Kelpin is one of more than 20 contributors to the book. He joins us to talk about Doug Ford's radical restructuring of municipal governments.

Oh, Canada. Did you know that Toronto had a crack-smoking, foul-mouthed mayor named Rob Ford? And would you believe that this all went down only ten years ago?? This week Justin and Toronto's own Steve Ward look back at Canada's most infamous dynasty as the Ford boys, Rob and Doug, get involved in scandal after scandal and try to justify it all on their short-lived YouTube show ‘Ford Nation'. It was the Conservative Jerks vs. the Liberal Yahoos during a time when Canadian politics were tariff-free but drug-fueled. WATCH FORD NATION HEREBUY OUR MERCH!

Topic 1: End the Air ShowFor five days straight Torontonians have been subjected to the roars of warplanes overhead their city. For many years folks have been calling for an end to this noisy, costly display of nationalism, aviation and implied violence. So why does it continue?Topic 2: Outing Trans StudentsProvincial politicians in New Brunswick, Saskatchewan and now Ontario are telling schools to report any change in a students name or pronouns to parents, putting untold numbers of children and youth at risk. Generations of students have fought to create safe spaces within their schools, only to be attacked from adults who should know better. What can be done to push back?Topic 3: Unaccountable Ford NationOntario Housing Minister Steve Clark was found to have breached multiple ethics rules. The Provincial government was advised to reprimand him. They refused. Ontario's Premier, Doug Ford, remains smug and defiant - even attacking reporters who dare press the issue of the Greenbelt. What can voters do about this lack of accountability? And what does that mean for a Canadian 'democracy'?All of our content is free - made possible by the generous sponsorships of our Patrons.

The Greenbelt and the Auditor General ReportThe Ontario Greenbelt's history has been a contentious one. From its creation, it has been resisted by developers whose sought to make obscene profits from unended sprawl. The Greenbelt Act in 2005 did not deter them, only increased their involvement and investment in Provincial politicians.Ford Nation also has a complicated history with the Greenbelt and political resistance to his plans to carve it up and hand it over to his biggest donors. But now, the receipts are official in the form of the Auditor General's report on the land selection process by the Ontario Progressive Conservatives. And it is scathing.As people are process on these details, environmentalists are feeling validated and extremely frustrated. Their warnings and calls to action largely went unheard. The time comes to decide what our collective response needs to be. Some are calling for the OPP's involvement, others for resignations. What can stop this development from happening now?All of these discussions and more in this latest Rabble Rant brought to you by the same folks producing Blueprints of Disruption.

Keith is surprised it isn't lower considering the provinces new legislation to move people from acute care beds to LTC homes, even if it's 70km away. And labour issues are percolating in the background: teachers, nurses, school bus drivers are all calling for more money. Can the government afford public sector upheaval in the wake of pandemic shut downs and crushing pressures on frontline workers? The cost of living and the cost of poverty continues to rise.

The Ford Escape has evolved into a pretty sophisticated machine over its twenty plus year run.  From a truck-based SUV offering either a four or six-cylinder gasoline engine, the small crossover SUV goes turbo and now adds an advanced plug-in hybrid powertrain to the mix. 

Today we review "Ford Nation" by Rob & Doug Ford, the story of former Toronto Mayor following him through his personal and political life.

Remember all the noise from the Ontario government about getting daycare rebate cheques to families in May, after Ford Nation agreed to be part of the national daycare program? Well, no cheques in May. No cheques in June. In fact, there's only one municipality in the GTA that has opened up its application process for daycare operators. There is precious little indication that this program will do much for the families who need the support or for the licenced operators who provide the service.  The promise was to have the $10/day program fully implemented by 2025.  At this rate, the majority of kids who need the daycare now will "age out" by the time the government gets its act together.

Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies, and gentlemen – and the rest of you – in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favourite Rebels. I'm your host, David Menzies. So, what pray tell, is more pathetic? The incessant lying by Martin Joseph Anglehart, a man who continues to falsely claim that he was abused by the rank-and-file demonstrators who comprised the freedom convoy in Ottawa? Or the fact that the CBC, who portrayed this fraudster as a victim, is refusing to do the right thing: namely, being transparent about their shoddy reporting. Alexa Lavoie shall explain all. For whatever reason, drag queen story time is all the rage in certain circles these days. But consider what happened at the Dallas gay bar Mr. Misster recently: elementary school age children were ushered in to take part in a sexualized show staged by men pretending to be women. What the hell? Juan Mendoza has all the disturbing nitty-gritty details… And letters; we get your letters; we get your letters every minute of every day. And I'll share some of your responses about our story regarding our visit to a Ford Nation event. Guess what? We were told to leave – even though we had an invitation. What's more, if we didn't leave as in “immediately” we would be charged with… trespassing? Meanwhile, the mainstream media was welcomed in with open arms. Why? No reason given. Because that's how Douggie rolls these days. Those are your Rebels now let's round them up…

More seats, more popular vote means four more years for Premier Doug Ford in Ontario. And he did it by staging near perfect campaign. He didn't engage the media. He didn't engage the Opposition, except on Debate Night. He barely spoke in public during the final ten days of the campaign and he came away with a resounding win. Of course, when one party wins 60% of the seat in the legislature, it means at least one opposition party had a very bad night. In this case, both the NDP and the Liberals are battered and bruised. And they're both looking for a new leader. The New Democrats will likely bounce back with fresh blood in the Leader's chair. Under new leadership, the NDP can take full advantage of being only one of two official parties in the legislature and make the Liberals completely irrelevant by 2026. Given the party's decision to choose Steven Del Duca as Kathleen Wynne's successor was a huge mistake. He was stuck with the baggage of the Wynne government AND HE GOT TROUNCED in his own riding in 2018. Add to that, the ridiculous decision to have Del Duca lead the party for two years without having a seat in the legislature and the game was all but over before the campaign even started. I'm not convinced the Liberal party gets up off the mat, let alone takes a standing 8 count. This is another four years of wandering in the wilderness. And this defeat is worse than the Wynne loss in 2018. The bar was so low, Del Duca should have been able to clear it without much difficulty. But he ran the campaign like it was a Limbo Challenge when it was Hurdles Race.  

Ontario election winner and why people voted for him.

All agree Doug Ford's below-the-radar approach to this election campaign is working for him. All indications are, he'd have to stumble hard to be reduced to a minority government. But does the peek-a-boo strategy hurt when several communities were hit by a deadly and devastating spring storm? Meanwhile, have the Liberals admitted they can't win? Internal party polling was leaked to Rob Benzie at the Toronto Star, suggesting the Liberals believe they can hold the PCs to a minority if they can win tight fights against the NDP.

Polling and seat projection numbers seem to be fluid, with less than 2 weeks to go before Election Day in Ontario. In three separate stories over the Victoria Day weekend, the Toronto Star says the Liberals could hold Ford Nation to a minority, the NDP is gaining at the expense of the Liberals, and the Liberals out poll the NDP but would finish third. So, we turn to John Wright, SVP at Maru Public Opinion to get some clarity on what's going on. He expects voting intentions firmed up while friends and families gather over the long holiday weekend.

GUEST HOST: DAVID MENZIES The other day, I was thinking about one of my all-time favourite films. It's a bit sci-fi, and a whole lot of horror. I speak of the 1978 reboot of the 1956 film, Invasion of the Bodysnatchers. As the title implies, the film's plot revolves around the replacement of people. When the alien lifeforms take over a person, they look exactly like their former human selves. I was reminiscing about this fantastic albeit frightening flick because lately I've been pondering: who is responsible for the body-snatching of Premier Doug Ford? GUEST: Avi Yemini

Pierre Poilievre may well be an unintended secret weapon for Ford Nation. National Post columnist Kelly McParland is of the opinion that "Pierre Poilievre is too big a risk to lead the Conservatives" McParland calls Poilievre's attack on Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem "reckless and dangerous". You might even call it the stuff of unhinged conspiracy theories. What a contrast between the CPC wannabe PM and Doug Ford, the wannabe re-elected premier of Ontario. Dull Doug's approach to the provincial campaign is working. He appears to be on track to lead another majority government. No drama. No meme material...so far. Campaign ain't over. But Ford's team has managed to plot a safe and steady track for Ontario PC leader. They've avoided any accusation of guilt by association with Poilievre. He's proving he can appeal to the conservative "core" and still win the general election. On the other hand, McParland says, "There is an imperiousness and inflexibility in (Poilievre's) performances that bodes poorly for someone who would need to bring a divided party together, and then do the same for a divided country."

It's as if they've taken a few laps to get their legs and jockey for positioning and now the provincial parties in Ontario are preparing for the final lap bell to ring.  The party leaders are all in debate prep mode and the dead gallop for the final two weeks leading up to Election Day on June 2nd. So far, Doug Ford's run a quiet campaign with fewer media avails than the other leaders and fewer days shaking hands and kissing babies. And all indications suggest that's working. Ontario's okay with DULL.  The oppo parties will have to change that narrative if they hope to make any gains on Ford Nation.

The Ontario Progressive Conservatives were already at an advantage among decided voters prior to Budget Day. Now, Doug Ford and his team will run on the fiscal plan presented this past Thursday. The legislature will not sit Monday or Tuesday, meaning no vote on the budget before the Lt. Governor officially dissolves the legislature on Wednesday and officially sends Ontarians to the polls June 2nd. Most of what's in the budget has already been announced or leaked. But is it possible that what's NOT in the budget will be the backbone of debate during this campaign. The opposition are pointing to a litany of promises made in 2018 the Tories failed to keep or simply bailed out on.

It's always the coverup that causes a crisis! This week, the On The Ledge crew with Sabrina Nanji from the Queen's Park Observer, weigh in on the Wiarton Willie coverup.  Oh ya, and we get around to the $10 a week Child Care plans, the pediatric vaccine rollout and the 4-13 is the project that just keeps on giving Ford Nation a headache.

In this episode, Nashwa and Ryan sit down with Andrea Horwath, MPP for Hamilton-Centre and the Leader of the Official Opposition New Democrats. ** Please note this episode was recorded in mid-March** Nashwa and Ryan contextualize this episode with an extensive pre-show- if you do not want to listen to the pre-show please forward this episode to the interview that begins at around 26 minutes. In this interview Nashwa and Ryan wanted the audience to learn more about Andrea and the Ontario New Democrats. This episode focused on provincial issues such as the vaccine rollout. The rollout continues to be a disservice to Ontarians as many have witnessed egregious lines at pop-ups and people rely on a community-driven twitter feed for information about the vaccines. Ryan and Nashwa also ask about the Ontario NDP's launch of the Green New Democratic Deal. Although this was recorded during phase two and we are now in phase three the rollout remains disjointed and inequitable. As a podcast project, we are constantly thinking about a world beyond electoral politics and hope for electoral politics with teeth that go beyond platitudes. This is why we asked about the Ontario NDP's stance and their policy paper produced in the Summer of 2020. You can find the NDP policy paper referenced here: End Police Violence. Invest In Black, Indigenous And Racialized People's Lives. An Ontario NDP Commitment To Action. Ryan wraps up by asking an evergreen question about the future of the Ontario NDP, how the base is being built, and how the provincial party plans to retain power. During the pre-show, Ryan and Nashwa discuss the current state of so many political issues throughout Ontario and why we want Ford out. While we vehemently recognize and acknowledge the limitations of electoral politics we hope this episode presents an alternative to the Ford Conservatives. Last week Doug Ford's Conservatives rammed through Bill 307. For the entirety of the pandemic, there was no urgency for an adequate paid sick days plan, to stop COVID evictions, to roll out an accessible vaccination program, to redress long-standing issues throughout the Long-Term Care system, and so much more. The list of moments throughout this pandemic that were urgent for so many Ontarians and not prioritized by Ford Nation are quite obvious. At the same time, we are witnessing a burgeoning fascist movement in Ontario and throughout Canada. We have been experiencing a rising unchecked white supremacy grow in Canada, overlapping with the anti-mask conspiracy parades. We fear that as Canada “goes back to normal” hate crimes will inevitably increase (terminology that frankly requires its own reckoning and further complexity). This contingent, which was emboldened after Donald Trump's election as well as the general acceptance of far-right hate speech in Canada's political discourse has been left entirely unaddressed. The Ford government is part of this. With cabinet members like Merrilee Fullerton and friendships with people like Charles McVety it is rather clear that this is a government that is friendly to bigotry. Bill 307 was rammed through last week after courts had deemed it unconstitutional because it unjustifiably violated Ontarians' right to freedom of expression – in particular affecting this important right during elections. Instead of appealing the decision, the Ford government invoked s. 33 of the Charter: the Notwithstanding Clause. The legal rule is an emergency tool governments can use to override certain Charter rights, even after a court deems a law unconstitutional. This tool has never been used in Ontario because invoking the Notwithstanding Clause means that a policy is going to violate fundamental civil liberties. This shows just how far Ford will go to achieve his political goals.Regardless of where you fall politically, even if you are beyond electoral politics, Ford's time in office has been devastating for activists and organizers throughout the province fighting like hell to keep people safe and alive. From his austerity cuts and right-wing populism, the racist dog whistles he has used to signal that he's on the side with the white supremacists, Ford needs to go. In Ontario, one could describe the current electoral political arena as something like the Sanders versus Trump showdown that never materialized in the US. With decades of Liberal governments neglecting Long-Term Care, destroying our public services, and so much more, the NDP finally holds a position as the official opposition in a way they previously have not. We have less than one year to get the Ford government out of office, but we can also dream far beyond that. We are very cognizant of the limitations of electoralism, as we've expressed on many occasions on this podcast, but it is also important to recognize multi-method action. We can and should be principled while also knowing that there is flexibility and multiple fronts we must organize on and counter. ** Please note this episode was recorded in mid-March*** This episode was recorded before Nashwa began her role at the Ontario NDP.Mutual Aid & Community Support:Although this episode is not paywalled we would deeply appreciate it if people would share or give (if able to do so) to any of the causes or groups listed below. Last week has been and will continue to be hard for myself (Nashwa) and the team so I will keep this brief. I will try to better address the murder of multiple generations of the Afzaal family in London Ontario at another time but for now, I am trying my best to be there for my community and help organize. I have been asked to share this page for financial support of the 9-year-old son who was left orphaned and injured. I keep this podcast mostly free. I know my listeners are generous people who care about this world and so if you are able to give we urge you to give to the remaining member of the Afzal family, Faez Afzaal. From the team and I, Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un to multiple generations of the Afzaal family. We will keep you in our hearts and continue to fight for a world that does not paper over the vile settler colonialism and xenophobia that is the bedrock of what we know as Canada. Guest Information Guests of the Week: Andrea Horwath, MPP for Hamilton-Centre and the Leader of the Official Opposition New Democrats.Andrea HorwathAndrea Horwath is the Leader of the Official Opposition New Democrats.

The Ontario legislature is now in its summer break. MPP's will be back at Queen's Park in September. In the meantime, there is a good deal of speculation, if not expectation, that Premier Doug Ford will shuffle, maybe blow up, his front bench. The Toronto Star is reporting that Ford is considering a major cabinet shakeup as he prepares to present a team worthy of re-election a year from now.  

As we recorded this session, it was the first time in months that we could say, "Premier Ford didn't meet the media this week." (NOTE: He did so a few hours after we wrapped our recording). All in all, it marked a relatively better week for the Ontario government. There are still plenty of critical voices, pointing to the Auditor General's report on LTC during the pandemic, too few "paid sick days", and the Opposition managed to resurrect the Rod Phillips scandal. But the vitriol and steam have come out of the discourse, so that qualifies as a "relatively" good week for Ford Nation.  

Bad days have quickly turned into bad weeks for Premier Doug Ford and his Ontario government. Now, it's clear that the province's handling of the growing COVID crisis has shaken public confidence in Ford Nation.  Polling by Maru Opinion indicates 8 in 10 Ontarians believe the Ford government is "flying by the seat of its pants" and only 1 in 5 would commit to voting for the Progressive Conservatives. An emotional news conference by Ford capped off what is becoming a disastrous month for him and his cabinet.

Doug Ford's approval ratings are dipping according to the latest numbers from Maru/Blue, but he's still 8 points better than he was when he won a majority at Queen's Park in 2018. Will the "COVID glow" last long enough to get Ford Nation re-elected next spring? Ontario announces plans to sunset 1500 fax machines. Yup. We're still using fax machines. And Keith Leslie is hearing that online re-sellers are booking provincial campsites!

Dianne Saxe Assesses Doug Ford's Environmental Policies and Impacts On this episode we continue our environmental impact assessment of the Doug Ford government. From the immediate hollowing out of Ontario’s Climate Change laws and his cancellation of 752 green energy projects, within weeks of becoming Premier in June of 2018, to his more recent efforts to undermine what remains of the ecological protection and restoration capacity of Ontario’s 36 Conservation Authorities, Doug Ford has cut a wide swath. So wide that its difficult to keep an up-to-date list, let alone take proper stock, of the real on-the-ground impact of Ford Nation’s on-going war on public sector environmental stewardship. It would be hard to find someone better placed to help us appreciate the cumulative environmental impact of what Doug Ford has been up to, than Dianne Saxe, the last independent Environmental Commissioner of Ontario, following Ford’s legislated elimination of her position and agency, effective in May of 2019. Dianne, has recently been appointment as Deputy Leader of the Green Party of Ontario. https://canoefm.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/PH-Resource-List-Doug-Ford-Env-Impact-Assessment-With-Dianne-Saxe-Nov-26-2020-Rev-1.pdf This podcast is hosted by ZenCast.fm

We have have documentary evidence that Councillor Rob Ford was writing letters of support for an organization that was seeking funding from Qatar Charity. This funding they were seeking is given only to those groups who support the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood. But given that Mr Rob Ford is deceased it seems unreasonable to pursue this any further without his being able to identify what he was thinking at the time. But we do have Doug Ford. The examples we will discuss today will show that there are Islamist influences in his government which are commonly known. But yet he chooses to take no action. This does seem strange.

The Ontario Liberal Party handed former Wynne minister Steven Del Duca a first ballot win and new business cards as the Leader of the provincial party. The governing Progressive Conservatives have already released online ads framing Del Duca as a continuation of Kathleen Wynne's politics and policies. Can Del Duca redefine himself? Can he redefine the provincial party? Can he raise the cash needed to take on the Tories in 2022? Can he recruit quality candidates to take on the Tories in 2022? And what does all this say about the leadership, (or lack thereof), from NDP leader Andrea Horwath?  

Hosts Marley Anne and Kevin look into Doug Ford's platform as Ontario's twenty-sixth premier under the Conservative Party.

Dianne Saxe, The Environmental Commissioner of Ontario, issued her 2018 Greenhouse Gas Progress Report, entitled “Climate Action in Ontario: What’s Next?” in late September.While her 2017 Report was cautiously optimistic that Ontario had finally moved from “Plans to Progress”, she characterizes 2018 as the year climate change action came to a “Wrenching Halt”.Join us on this episode of Planet Haliburton for a conversation with Commissioner Saxe about her latest climate change report card and what Doug Ford can to do to regain momentum on reducing GHG emissions.Show Notes: https://canoefm.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Background-Resources-for-Planet-Haliburton-November-12-2018.pdf

Ontario’s Finance Minister Rod Phillips delivered the Fall Economic Statement in the legislature this week and it was criticized by the left and the right. The opposition NDP accuse the Ford government of making drastic cuts to programs and services while staunch conservatives shout about Ford spending more than the Kathleen Wynne government. Getting heat from both sides suggests to Phillips they got the balance just about right. They’ve added cash to health and education, focused on some tax relief, (especially for small business) and have a plan to flatten the deficit a year into their next mandate. Above all, the ON THE LEDGE crew agrees this Economic Statement is a much needed reset for Ford Nation.

Is there a movement to draft Jane Philpott as a Liberal leadership candidate? Is it time for the New Democrats to replace Andrea Horwath? It’s nearly universally acknowledged that Ford Nation spent its time well during the five-month recess at Queen’s Park if, for no other reason than, it changed its tone and approach, finally shifting from “campaign” to “governing” mode. And the ON THE LEDGE panel says that’s made it more difficult for the opposition to lay a glove on the Tories.  The question then is how will the change in tone by the PCs effect the immediate and longer-term strategies of the opposition NDP and Liberals.

The Ontario legislature was back in business this past week after a nearly five month recess. Things kicked off with a "day of action" demonstration by public service unions but it wasn't as spirited as one may have expected. The ON THE LEDGE panel chalks that up to an obvious change of tone from Premier Doug Ford. There was some barbs in house during Question Period but there was a noticeable change in behaviour. Spectator could not only hear the questions, they could hear the answers. Premier Ford may be speaking softly but it would be wrong to think he doesn't still carry a big stick.

This week, after a five-month long hiatus, it's finally "Back to School" time for the Ontario Legislature. Observers have been wondering if the extended break might allow for a more collegial tone to fall on Queen’s Park, especially as the government faces a number of pressing and challenging issues. Who better to ask if this is the case than our own MPP Mike Schreiner? As you all know, the late return of the Legislature is due to the Federal Election. After Justin Trudeau and the Liberals retained power, it looked like a new Doug Ford was taking over, he was making media appearances, and talking about how the Feds and the Province will now work together to improve life for everyone. That's a big change from the ruckus, combative Ford regime we're seen so far in Question Period. Schreiner's not so sure he buys this new tone. True, it looks like efforts are being made, but the Ford government is still chasing a Supreme Court challenge to the carbon tax, is still insisting gas stations post their anti-carbon tax stickers, and is still facing labour disruption with teachers and other provincial employee unions. How long can the shiny happy version of Ford Nation last? Is it even built to last? On this edition of the podcast, Schreiner will talk about his criticism of the carbon tax court challenge, and why Premier Ford should give it up in the wake of the election. He also talks about how the new tone worked, at least on the first day of Question Period, and why he suspects that it might not last. Schreiner then discusses why people need to keep up the pressure on the government over the next couple of months, and why he hopes that his private members bill to protect the Paris-Galt Moraine might bring people together. So let's hear from Mike Schreiner as he gets back to work at Queen's Park on this edition of the Guelph Politicast! If you would like to hear from Schreiner live and in-person, he will be hosting an AMA, Ask Mike Anything, on November 14 at the 10C Shared Space in Downtown Guelph. For more information, you can find it on Schreiner’s Facebook page. The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean.

Dianne Saxe, The Environmental Commissioner of Ontario, issued her 2018 Greenhouse Gas Progress Report, entitled “Climate Action in Ontario: What’s Next?” in late September.

One week after the Doug Ford government celebrated its first year since since winning a sweeping majority in Ontario and reducing the governing Liberals to less than party status, the premier didn't just shuffle his cabinet - he blew it up and rebuilt it. Doug Ford fired/demoted some of his key front benchers. Barely a couple of months after tabling his first (and only, it seems) provincial budget, Vic Fedeli lost his job as the Finance Minister - demoted to a lesser portfolio as Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade. Education Minister Lisa Thompson was bumped down to Government and Community Services. And Lisa MacLeod was nearly gleeful when she was shifted out of the Children, Community and Social Services ministry to take over Tourism, Culture and Sports. Rod Phillips got the nod to take over the Finance portfolio, leaving Environment to Jeff Yurek, who was shifted out of Transportation in favour of Caroline Mulroney. And rookie Doug Downey assumed the robes and role of Ontario's Attorney General. So this was a first class shake up; it was described as 'the reset' for Ford Nation; it was cast as the government's opportunity to rehab some of the self-inflicted wounds it suffered in the first year since being elected. Not so fast. The cabinet shuffle was completely sidelined, derailed and torched by a series of questionable patronage appointments, (announced mere hours after the new cabinet was introduced), the Premier's decision to rescind the appointments a day later AND the sudden resignation of his Chief of Staff, Dean French. Add to that the province's announced decision to cancel Canada Day festivities at Queen's Park as a cost saving measure and it turned into another bad week for Premier Ford and his team. The new year starting much the same way the old year ended.

The Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario is now like the Liberal Party and the NDP. They have a problem. They are suffering from political entryism. Either the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario takes a very hard look at itself now - or it faces a future where extremism becomes normalized in the party.
