She's completely full of crap, and I have no reason to think she'd be any more ethical than Trudeau is given that she's perfectly capable of spewing the same type of BS with a straight face.
The fact that she would probably be more effective and competent than Trudeau, given all of that, actually accrues to her detriment, for the same reason that I don't want a more competent version of Trump in the White House.
Now, if she becomes the LPC candidate for PM, I'll see more of her in six months than I have in the ~7 years since JT took office. It's possible that given all that airtime, she'll convince me that I was wrong about all of that and should vote for the LPC candidate in my riding. I'm not completely dismissing the possibility. But she has a tougher hill to climb in that regard than a candidate coming in with a blank slate, or better yet, someone completely outside of the Trudeau circle.
