It's absolutely asinine that there is no party that is fiscally conservative and socially progressive. I understand there is limits on either end to being both of those things, but I also think that's where most Canadians want to be.

Nobody thought Trudeau would’ve been this vulnerable, so all the top candidates stayed away. Although if the Conservatives had a decent leadership election process, Bernier would have been leader - and that would’ve been interesting.
If MacKay or Ambrose (Raitt would have been good also) can replace Scheer, the party will be in a better long term position than if Scheer had squeaked out a victory tonight.
