I am surprised that so many people are down on Sheer. He lead the party to a very substantial increase in seats and made the Conservatives a strong opposition in Parliament.
Beating an incumbent is difficult and despite the dirt on Trudeau, the party is not viewed nearly as negatively outside of Western Canada. If the dirt on Trudeau wasn't enough to change people's minds, there isn't anything Sheer could do to change that. If anything, people get sick of bringing up the same thing over and over. They want a leader and party to make themselves look good by building themselves up, not tearing others down.
Compare it to Trump in the U.S. You can tear him up all day, but all it will do is make people who like him, hate your side more. If the Conservatives want to win, they need to pretend Trudeau doesn't even exist and sell Canadians on their platform.
