    Nah, he’s revitalized the party, brought in a new demographic of voters, and even gained the most seats the Conservatives have ever seen. Just cause he lost to Carney doesn’t automatically make him a bad party leader.

    I think they’re counting on Carney to take on Trump, make some fatal mistake, and then swoop in whatever election comes next.

      No, it’s his personality, fecklessness, inability to have a thought that doesn’t start with blaming someone else for something, smarminess and completely lacking empathy that makes him a bad leader.

        100% agree, but all of those things are apparently Conservative virtues, and the party is tripling down on their pick.

      I wasn’t thinking about the loss, but more so the lack of a reasonable response to Trump. He’s still stuck on basic 3 word slogans instead of having any real strategy, unless I just haven’t seen it.

        Toss the ass

        Dump the dick

        Turf the Prick

        Fire the Fool

        Damn. I should have joined the PC party and started spreading these around.

        No doubt the schoolyard slogans are tiring. I also don’t think he has anything concrete to offer Canadians outside of being Trudeau’s heel.
