After the election, you see where the seat count is and then you make deals as required (if required). I wouldn’t jump the gun and make any deals before I was actually power. It would probably just piss off the CPC’s potential voters.

Fair enough but the thing is the only reason the liberals and NDP are in power at this time is because they made a deal, the CPC could do the same and then the liberals would be out of the picture much sooner. To be fair you are right that it could potentially rub some CPC supporters the wrong way but I’d be willing to bet that it’d be minor at worst and probably wouldn’t result in many of those voters jumping ship to vote liberal.
Personally I just can’t see a scenario where enough CPC supporters are enraged enough to ditch the party if they make a deal to continue offering things like some form of pharmacare and dental care to low income Canadians.
