I think that's probably going to be better for them in the long run, especially if the long game is to recapture Quebec and expand in B.C. I'd also argue it's better for Canada. Having three parties all within a few shades of the centre is indicative of hegemony, and doesn't really help anyone. There needs to be clear alternatives.

And to answer your earlier question, the direction the Conservatives go will depend on the leader. And while he has already said he won't run now, getting a guy like Brad Wall to jump up to the federal level would push the party forward.

Yeah, that would be a smart choice for them. I kind of having the feeling that Wall is going to pick his spot, though, and now might not be the best time for him.
