It’s obvious that the CPC campaign was a weapon purpose built to defeat Trudeau. However, I think it needs to be noted that nothing about that should have precluded developing substantive policy and plans for what they would do once they won. It’s a party built to win an election, not to govern.
If they’d actually had any substance to them, they wouldn’t have even really needed to pivot. They could have just gone with “now that we’ve eliminated Trudeau, it’s cleared the way for us to implement all these great ideas”, and spent the rest of the campaign mixing “here’s the ways the Liberals are so bad Trudeau had to quit” with “here’s all the good ideas they’ve prevented with how bad they are”
But, of course, that would require them to have good, popular ideas. And ideas that are good an popular on their own merits, not just in comparison to the Liberals
After reading this, I had hopeful that Pierre might actually take some time for personal reflection and growth. So I was disappointed to hear that he moved so quickly go find a way back into parliament. So much for moving on to something of substance. 😢
