Did you skip Freeland's tweet I linked? The picture is certainly not rosier when you have Liberal MPs like Freeland around who may take his place.
How much in touch CPC are with Canadians as a whole doesn't matter, if they are the only party even remotely listening to what matters most to average Canadians today. 40% is better than 0. It should be obvious they have little intentions of being in touch with everyone considering how the CPC choose to go further right with Poilievre instead of moving left.
What was missed in this byelection (despite Ozy_Flame oddly rambling about vote splitting) is how poorly the NDP did considering the Liberals are in a freefall. If Liberals are so out of touch that they lost one of their stronghold seats, albeit still getting 40% of the votes, what does that make the NDP who came in at 10%? This is the NDP's worst showing in this riding since 2000.
There was a left / ABC alternative to the Liberals available and voters instead went to the CPC or even to some of the 80 protest candidates. That says just as much about the NDP than it does about Trudeau or the Liberals.
This is a lot more than just "Trudeau needs to go" as some of you are rationalizing. This is a complete rejection of the status quo presented by the Liberal-NDP coalition.
