Unless you were a person who regularly voted conservative and then switched in this last election I don’t think you get to say We warned you. It’s a boy who cried wolf scenario. So pro Prentice, Anti Kenny voters can do a victory lap.

This is BS. Harper was a disaster when he got his majority. Ford was significantly better in his first term and is ripping his way down as we speak, the last few months have been nothing but a disaster in Ontario. This isn't the same as just opposing policy decisions, these people are breaking our institutions and have been for a while now.
You can try and gate keep who can say "I told you so" all you want, but it is not a boy who cried wolf scenario. Conservativism in Canada has played out pretty much as expected since the Reformers took over the PCs. Each successive government is worst that the last.
If you want an analogy, the boy cried wolf when the wolf ate one sheep and conservatives didn't care. Then cried again when the next wolf ate two sheep and still, conservatives didn't care. Why? Because it was always someone else's sheep getting eaten. But now that the wolves are eating half the flock, suddenly conservatives care?
