Maple MAGA allegations are never going to go away I guess.
Certainly making for a very easy canvas to paint.

Labeling a long running Canadian policy conference as "Maple MAGA" is kind of lazy framing and a way to dismiss it without engaging with the ideas.
They look like a domestic forum for Conservative ideas that's been around for 20 years.

Well, when you have known deep MAGA types like Gordon Campbell, and Mike Harris on the list you have to expect to be called Maple MAGA...
It's funny how people opposed to PP and his "MAGA" style divisiveness tend to go super divisive in their descriptions of conservatives... Almost as if the problem isn't all, or even predominantly, on just one side of the political aisle.
Edit: The Pete Hoekstra speaking part is a fireside chat... Seems pretty legitimate to invite the ambassador of our largest trading partner to an event like this for a fireside chat.

Every fireside chat that man takes the opportunity to disparage Canada.
I hope the CPC types in attendance take the opportunity to push back if he steps out of line
Sure, in and of itself benign. But they don’t get the luxury of inviting him but not the baggage of the geopolitical situation and state of the bilateral relationship. Hopefully he’s challenged on some things.

How is Gordon Campbell (or Mike Harris for that matter) known deep MAGA types? I don't see the connection.

The agenda looks quite interesting, as does the lineup of speakers beyond the "headliners".
Sounds like just the sort of thing any political movement or ideology needs to spend time on.
What is your concern?

It was sarcasm, I assumed listing people who were out of politics before MAGA was a thing woukd be obvious. My bad for not making it clearer.

It's interesting that your base assumption is that conservatives are inherently likely to not counter anti-Canadian messaging, and are hoping that they will overcome their inherent anti-Canadian nature to make arguments for Canada...

One of the reasons it can be argued they lost the last election is because the LPC went full guns ablazing agaisnt America and Trump while the CPC focused on the LPC and didn't have much to say on Trump.
PP has been better on that front recently, but if they let Mr Hoekstra talk about how everything wrong with the Canada USA relationship is due to Canada, they had better tell him where he can stick it.
If they passively just let him run his mouth and don't stand up for Canada, they deserve the maple maga moniker.
