Not to mention the same conservative policies (small government, tax cuts, etc.)
Hell, PP worked as a political staffer for Kenney back in the day. And PP's campaign is headed by John Baird who has incredibly close ties to Kenney. PP and Kenney also worked together in Harper's government.
I mean, yes, they are two different people, but they're definitely similar is MANY ways and have close connections to one another. Doesn't mean PP will make the same mistakes, but it also doesn't bode well if you think Kenney was an idiot.

I don't think PP courted the far right, I assume you are talking about PP showing support for Canadians right to protest in the freedom convoy. Although the legacy media frames the freedom convoy as right wing, not everyone sees more then a
mostly peaceful protest that lasted too long because Trudeau is stubborn and unable to deal with anyone opposing him. .
Yes Kenney and PP have crossed paths being that they both worked for the same political party for a number of years, that doesn't mean they are similar people. I could go on all day about the problems with Kenney, but I don't see any of those same problems in PP. I think it is kinda of pathetic to try to draw similarities to PP and other failed politicians (Kenney, Trump) without any real evidence.
