   It’s no secret that there are factions in the Conservative
   movement in Canada and that not everyone gets along. But over
   the last couple of weeks Conservative infighting has spilled
   out into the public with barbs in speeches, podcasts, and
   social media.

   Canada. He breaks down the sniping and what it says about the
   state of the Conservative party.
