Having heard Adler on the radio many times, I will laugh at people who are and will crow that he's a liberal leftist simply because this was a Trudeau appointment.
He's a Conservative like they used to be before being hijacked by the extreme right.

He is vehemently anti-convoy crowd and that is PP base and it why it was the perfect poison pill pick if he wins.
He is a great mirror on the malaise of the current state of the right and not just the cpc. O'toole and Adler are just too sane for the radicals populists that have infested the right.

The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council dismissed the complaint, saying Adler made "fair political commentary," noting in a 2000 decision that "those who occupy positions of power on the reserves may legitimately be described, on account of the decisions which they make, as 'boneheads' or 'intellectually moribund' by opinion-holders in the media."
The council said if Adler had taken the position that Indigenous people who aren't in leadership positions are intellectually moribund, "the attitude of this Council would likely have been different."
