Now that doesn't mean it'll happen again. But based on the numbers, there's a pretty clear delineation between Conseratives/PPC and then everyone else. I suspect what Poilievre is trying to do right now is lock up the PPC crazies and then once there's a campaign he'll try to straddle the line between holding on to convoy vote while moderating to try to attract more from the center.

I think he's already got them locked up and is already making gains in the middle. If you watch his content its far less about convoy conspiracy type stuff and way more about housing, inflation, economy etc. He has a lot of screen time with minority communities as well. There is a reason the polls are starting to demonstrate the changing tides. Right now it looks much more like Pollivre is out connecting with people while Trudeau is the man in the ivory tower.
