PP is a pathetic loser destined for a footnote in history. Imagine needing to go Alberta, hand pick delegates, run in a riding that wants to secede from Canada. CP have no chance of governing. Everyone hates this dude outside of CP members. They are not a serious party.
Unfortunately by all accounts they do have a chance even with PP as a leader. In a late Wynne or late Trudeau scenario, the CPC could very well win a majority. Doug Ford has been riding the wave since 2018. If the LPC hadn’t pulled the Carney rabbit out of the hat, something that was far from certain to happen, we’d be saluting PM PP at the moment. We spent a lot of time and money to take Trudeau out and prevent Freeland from taking over the party. This type of maneuvre isn’t common. The chance of failure is very high.
Over the short term they wouldn’t win. By the time we get to the next election, it’s not so certain.
True. The old PCs all vote Carney. The reason PP blathers on about the “youth vote” is cause the youth are all online and only know this (hyper stupid) era of “politics” . I’m speaking as a millennial.
Or they vote Con because Carney won’t fix housing, and has a new housing minister that immediately said housing prices can’t fall as its boomers retirement fund.
Liberals attempt to straddle the vote, they pretend to care about climate change for the youth vote, as they mass immigrate people into massive urban sprawl for the boomer vote. They straddle the conservative talking points about fiscal discipline as they leapfrog Trudeau level deficits.
Agree that they are doing squat about housing. Rent control needs to be all across the country for one thing. But the cons won’t do better, they will funnel money even more furiously to the private sector and achieve nothing.
Rent control is a first mover advantage, its largely immigration and nimbys. They need to continue to shrink the population, but I don’t think they will.

The next election could be this spring!!
Sure. Technically. In that case they lose the next election. 😄 Should’ve said 3-4 years’ time.
I am ok giving him a shot (to run) post Trump.
With the party shift, no one votes Con anyway.
