Every 'leader' has been clown after clown. The depth of their bench is apalling and matches their depth of policy.
I suspect a CIA led sockmonkey to take CPC leadership. Literally a sockmonkey

Oh yea Danielle Smith
That's scary.
I threw up in my mouth a little bit.
The tool 🔧 wasn't too bad. I would not have voted for him but I wouldn't have felt scared for the country if he had become a PM.
A potato would be a good replacement. People like potatoes
My bet's on Jamil Jivani - JD "Couchfucker" Vance's buddy. He's got the PP energy without any of the smarminess and he's got real connections to MAGA.
Doug Ford?
Fuck. I was just about to fall asleep.
Doug Ford is still part of the PC wing, since the Reform wing took total control of the party after the pandemic the PC wing has had very little influence on within the CPC organization. Which is part of the reason for the infighting during the last election.
Why can't we just let the maple maga party die? A good ol' antiseptic cleaning at least.
PP's only goal is power, the CPC has no landmark policy, their campaign platform was just slogans and vague assertions, the leader lost his seat and had to run for the safest seat in the country. Under normal circumstances this would cause a push from within the party platform to more align with what Canadians want, but that doesn't happen in today's CPC.
This skit perfectly encapsulates the mentality of the CPC base. This partisan loyalty is doing so much damage to our political discourse, where a good portion of the country is voting purely on tribal identity, where the party is not held to the same standard of decorum or corruption.
It's no wonder the LPC is shifting to the right, they know anyone paying attention to policy could not vote for the CPC right now, so they've been trying to peel CPC supporters away from the party by adopting some of the same aspects of that political identity, and passing policy that would've been right at home under the Harper government.
In this situation there is one thing that being left behind, and thats policy for average Canadians. As long as we're voting to keep a cult from taking power and abusing the notwithstanding clause to punish those in society they deem undesirable, we are not voting for good policy that's going to actually make a positive impact on the average Canadian, and thats depressing as hell.
I'm not sure the Conservatives are willing to change leaders yet. No, they didn't win the election but they DID make significant inroads, gaining almost 3x as many seats as the Liberals did and making significant inroads in Quebec.
The Liberals used the "Trump scare" to very good effect to convince scared Canadians that the country would be taken over by His Orangeness if they didn't vote for the international banker. Not sure the same tactic would work today.
