I am pretty confident that we will see a more moderate and less attack dog style Pierre in the months to come. I am sure the policy will be strong and focused.
We are already seeing a more moderate Pierre in some ways, some of the complaints from people within the party is already of a softening of him, which is to be expected. Pierre isn't Harper, he won't be as soft in my opinion and he will be more of a revolution as opposed to evolutionary. He also doesn't have the same runway that Harper had. Harper should have beaten Trudeau in 2015 but the campaign was poor and the messaging was weak and incoherent. Harper had entrusted Jason Kenney to work his tail off to bring in a lot of new Canadians and immigrants into the fold and they did themselves in with some stupid messaging. Pierre won't have multiple cracks at a majority or longevity unless he focuses on middle of the road policies and transforms issues for all Canadians. Laser focused on economic, health and long term issues etc.
People, countries, policies and leaders are always moving left and right within the spectrum. The messaging thus far and the budget announcements from the Liberals is very different from 2015, a lot of the younger people who voted for him then are grown up now and are having serious grown up concerns and issues.
