If the Cons don’t make inroads in the GTA, they aren’t winning an election. Their best path to victory is honestly a stronger NDP - they need more vote splitting - but that isn’t likely to happen any time soon.

There is a lot of strategic voting in the GTA. If people think the Cons have a chance and they push too far right - they'll coalesce around one party. That's the Doug Ford secret - he doesn't get people riled up against him - so they just vote for whoever and he sneaks up the right and wins.
