PP was always going to be hated. He was never the right candidate. People wanted change, but didn’t really know who the Conservative leader was. Now that they do, they want nothing to do with his antics. And now, to win over people, he’s going even deeper in attacks and antics. More slogans. He’s terrible at this.
My guess is that O’Toole would be the front runner if the Cons didn’t dump the baby with the bathwater. A veteran, fighting for Canada? He’d have been the candidate for the moment, no extra anti LGBT crap, no checkered past with crappy voting choices.
I remember when O’Toole first became Conservative leader, one of his first speeches was about how while Trudeau was at a fundraiser, he was in the House of Representatives voting on gay rights. That left an impression on me.
O’Toole also likely wouldn’t have scared Trudeau off before an election.
Trudeau and Singh against O’Toole would have been an absolute stomp during the border and tariff crisis. And even if Trudeau did step down the conservative majority would have probably had staying power.
